Notice how CPU speed (and number of cpus) completely determines

cryptcompress refers to the reiser4 compression plugin, (unix file)
refers to the reiser4 non-compressing plugin.

Here are the tests that vs asked for:

Just curious - does your crypt plugin reside in user space?




Nop.
This is just wrappers for linux crypto api, zlib, etc..
so user time is zero and not interesting.
