I find svnd to be fast as well. I use it on notebooks and underpowered Celeron CPUs and the encryption overhead is imperceptible. I also like the fact that I can copy the encrypted containers from one OpenBSD install to the other. For now, I plan to stick with vnconfig. Only /, /usr and /var are clear text on my laptops and I'm OK with that. /home is encrypted, swap in encrypted and /tmp is in memory. So I still have some privacy. Brad
