Comment 96 for bug 392204

Still true today. Copying about 180 MB of smaller files (pictures) to a NTFS partition (filesystem) inside TrueCrypt. It took 20 minutes. I partition the same mapped device -- format it -- to exFAT, and it takes 26 seconds.

So it took 26 seconds to write that same data at 7.2 MB/s and it took 20 minutes to write the same data at 160 kB/s.

Just incredible. Just incredible for something that has been around for so long.

Not eating their own dog-food, I guess.
