nexus 6 broken screen

[Nathan England]

 From my experiences with encrypted hard drives in both the windows world 
and linux land, I have been hesitant to encrypt my phone. I use the Moto 
G on a prepaid verizon plan, so if the phone dies, I can pick up a new 
one for $60 bucks at walmart, meaning I'm not concerned about sending it 
in...

Regardless, I've pondered encrypting it, but dreaded the performance 
loss. What has your experience been on the 6? Is there a significant 
performance hit? Do you just feel it is worth the privacy protection and 
deal with it? Is it not even noticeable?

My windows machine with bitlocker is unbearably slow, at least compared 
to my SSD machines. And the encrypted HDD with Fedora is painful as 
well, though not near as bad as windows.
