Hm. I'd have to go take a look at my old truecrypt setup, but that
sounds really suboptimal. The truecrypt setup I described earlier was
pretty simple, and its loopback file was FAT32, but it never pegged the
CPU or even made the CPU fan turn on. I think the encryption method
you use makes some difference too.
