A user would have much bigger problems if their LAN has been compromised. I assume turning off the encryption would speed up the transfers, especially if moving things between rusty disks.

- justsomehnguy 4y agoRusty disks are slower than any modern symmetric encryption.
- klabb3 4y agoThank you! Encryption shouldn't bottleneck a CPU (I think), and why would disk performance matter? Only the transmission is encrypted. Anyway.. Your point still stands. The true answer is a combination of "why not" and I'd like to extend outside of LANs in the future.
