"Trusted computing" is one of the most outrageous misnomers of all  
time. I would not use such a thing for encrypted FS, nor for anything 
else I wanted to remain secure.

I used to use loopback Blowfish encryption on my old P166 way back, and 
there really wasn't any noticeable problem with CPU overload, nor with 
slow read/writes. Soon I plan to set up dm-crypt on my Thinkpad.
