Performance of encryption software

by "Nico Schuyt" <nschuyt(AT)gmail(DOT)com> Jul 12, 2008 at 11:35 AM

I did some testing with Flycryptor and Truecrypt.
Flycryptor is very easy to use but seems to be a lot slower than
Truecrypt.
For example: copying 616MB text files took:
    32 seconds without encryption
    35 seconds inside of a Truecrypt container
    45 seconds in a Fycryptor container
I'm not completely sure about the significance (though the results were
the
same on repetition): a search on a text phrase in 6,000 e-mails (OE) took
about as long in Flycryptor as without encryption.

Has anyone experience with both programs and/or a general advice what 
program is to be preferred?

Thanks in advance, Nico
