Ok, so you have enabled the fs crypt function in OpenAFS?
That feature is about to change with new RX standard, but current crypt
function is:
1. very insecure
2. very very slow
3. very very CPU hungry
Over all: do not use it, more likely try to use VPN.

Depends on the values you did not wrote?
For me the slowness in WAN is about latency.
But in 100Mbit network cell servers and 100mbit client in WAN/Internet,
I get >2 MB/sec from my servers.

Server configuration? Hardware?
Client settings, cache in client, cache size?
