Unlocking encrypted disk isn't I/O bound though.

The key derivation step is designed to take a set amount of CPU time (say, a second), so it's difficult to brute force.

Indeed, it ought to take time to afford protection. Optimizing the rest may be fun, but already changes little in a laptop.

(A cloud instance with a disk without encryption is a different business.)
