Has anyone tried full disk encryption while running a node?

Chuck in a little file compression and you can soon get back to the same performance at the cost of
a bit of CPU-Power and memory.

Disk-Drives are as slow as snails and are hardly any faster today then they were ten years ago but today
Microsoft tries to lock everyone else out from writing that kind of software and we are now at the stage
where anything they can steel, encrypt and upload they are doing.

My skills today are so good that I cannot delete index.dat files (these get hidden) on a windows 10 machine
because its no longer an OS but has become a remote terminal for Microsoft and the NSA

I did, never get any issue with that, about performance on my highend stuff is barery feelable, or there is no difference at all.
