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 ! EncFS : 20 seconds !
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
