Thanks, I'll try that and see if it helps
Got the CPU passthrough and got 875MB/s on aes-xts (256) this time. Not great but usable. Their responses to ticket is very speedy. Overall, I'm a new happy customer now.
I am really glad to hear that, thank you.
@Radi think of all the customers who cancel when they dont get good AES performance and dont realize its because you dont enable cpu passthrough by default.
Why do you need AES performance for an idling VPS... `
Idling is a heavy task.
Out of curiosity what is the the need for CPU passthrough? And the aes-xts encryption? Just trying to learn. Thanks
aes-xts is used by dmcrypt (a linux tool) to setup full disk encryption. For me, full disk encryption is a must on any VPS. CPU passthrough allows dmcrypt to use the CPU's AES-NI instructions to speed it up.
Ahh. Never realized this would help boost performance. I too have some FDE setups. Will check and see if its enabled
Thanks
