I do not belive that the AFS service is IO-bound. But i do agree that it
should be.=20

The tests i did shows that encrypted perfomance sucks big time.  However
performance is much better if you use the rx-patches from Bj=F6rn Gr=F6nval=
l.
I think some of them are merged into newer versions of openafs.
