> I seriously doubt that encryption/decryption is going to bottleneck a large download as opposed to network overhead. I think it really depends on the scale of what you're working with. It's not just the network overhead but also the CPU overhead. It's the cost of a copy operation (and maybe not even that with io_uring) vs an entire encryption process.
