Update:
I transferred the same data from the eCryptfs folder to the EncFS folder.

The results of statting about 50k files (twice in a row) are the following:

eCryptfs : 16 minutes !

Clearly there must be some fundamental differences between the two designs.

eCryptfs has some features that EncFS does not have, but performance-wise, the differences can be astonishing
