Support of AES-NI in encfs

Description

I am using MacPorts 2.2.0 and built encfs @1.7.4_1 (fuse) on my Macbook Pro (Core i7, 8GB RAM). When I backup files to an internal SMB-Server with an encfs-overlay, the performance is way too slow, although my network link is 1GB. The following is an example of rsync trying to copy my video camera files with an average of 1.5MB/s:

/DCIM/100CANON/IMG_1268.JPG

3887630 100% 1.41MB/s 0:00:02 (xfer#221, to-check=1153/14004)

/DCIM/100CANON/MVI_1207.MOV

75278588 100% 1.49MB/s 0:00:48 (xfer#222, to-check=1152/14004)

/DCIM/100CANON/MVI_1208.MOV

113705816 100% 1.48MB/s 0:01:13 (xfer#223, to-check=1151/14004)

/DCIM/100CANON/MVI_1209.MOV

120240904 100% 1.54MB/s 0:01:14 (xfer#224, to-check=1150/14004)

/DCIM/100CANON/MVI_1210.MOV

Is it possible to include Intels AES-NI feature into encfs and thus improve the performance?

Please remember to set the port field and add the maintainer.

If upstream supports a feature, we can enable it. Development of new features has to be done upstream. See also this ticket upstream, http://code.google.com/p/encfs/issues/detail?id=70. If the openssl port does not support or use AES-NI on your machine although it should, please open a new ticket against openssl.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
