Slowdown with latest cvs version

Hi,

thought to give the latest cvs code a try. Nice to see that libgcrypt integration finally made it into LUKS/dm-crypt.

However, I noticed that opening an encrypted partition now takes about 20-30x more time compared to the official 1.0.7. And there's an occasional line in my logs which complains on misbehaving BUFFER I/O. Version 1.0.7 (latest official stable) is completely fine.

I'm totally aware of that this is the "bleeding edge", and I hope that this is the right place to report the issue. Feel free to contact me for further testing, if this should be neccessary.

That's why I released stable:-) There will be also probably another patch for new libcryptsetup API (frozing the the old), so the devel trunk is now really not in super stable state - still many things to finish.

Please send me logs and description what's wrong. Both buffer errors and runtime seems very strange. (please add system info, architecture etc.)

Yes, I'm aware of that. This was only a test, and the machine I run this test on is not used for production either.

I'll send them as soon as I'm back home in the evening.

Thanks,
