If you run TC's benchmark during the container
creation process you can see what
kind of hit you're going to take.
Notice it or not, depending on what cipher if you're
chaining them together.
there is a performance hit. My assumption is it's not
drive speed but CPU so the
faster the CPU(s),
If you use keyfile(s) then passwords are not an issue.
You just issue your users
a small capacity thumbdrive encrypted by TC w/
password to protect the
keyfile(s) on it. Or if you are serious pick up some
IronKeys and use them to
store keyfile(s). Don't know how this affects the new
TC version
I've been using TrueCrypt for a while to do encrypted data partitions and
this is very welcome news. Free, open source, very strong encryption for
Windows, Linux, and OSX:

I wonder how much overhead encrypting the system partition puts on the
system.

Now that's cool news! Truecrypt is good stuff.
I have yet to see data recovery program to salvage
encrypted partitions
(assuming you had the cipher). Doesn't make me real
comfortable if a single bad
sector would leave my data inaccessible.

Likely no more than EFS does but would depend on the
type of encryption used.

Hard disk maintenance tools like Spin Rite will work just fine but
you're right, data recovery would be a pain.
Another reason to always backup your data.

IMHO if you care enough about your data to use whole disk encryption,
you care enough about your data to setup an encrypted backup, such as
ssh secured dirvish, or Bacula over local network, or even over a vpn.
Even a laptop can be backed up well while on net using Bacula. We have
several
