CPUfreq and dm-crypt performance problems
Is using CPU frequency scaling on a server a good idea? After all, some servers don’t do very much at night, so why shouldn’t we scale CPU frequency down when servers are idle?
Unfortunately, simple tests revealed serious performance problems when reading from a drive encrypted with dm-crypt / LUKS – here is why (with a simple solution).
