I have been using FREE Compusec with their GA Lite product (which allows
me to encrypt at 256 rather than the default 128) for a few months now.
I have installed it on several platforms (old and new hardware) and have
noticed hardly any noticeable performance hit.

Dear Sirs,

I've been reading with interest your site about the full disk
encryption suites.

The one major drawback that I can see all software based solutions is
the overhead on the CPU.

Given that the trend now is heading for multicore CPUs I was
wondering if any of your subscribers has any information regarding
the performance of these software solutions on QUAD/DUAL core intel
cpus.

I would be interested to know if anyone has tried these suites on
quad core CPUs. I rather suspect that seeing as the operating systems
[and most likely the software packages as well] are not coded for
multicore environments that the performance overhead would still be
quite substantial.

Anyway, I hope you can help me get a better understanding.

Sincerely.

James
