I can't seem to find a straight answer wether debian with kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 together with cryptsetup 2:1.1.3-4squeeze2 has support for multiple threads.

I've read a few article and been informed by friends that Ubuntu Server 11.10 with kernel 3.x supports multithreading with dm-crypt. But what I'm wondering is if my instance of debian supports this as well. My CPU supports AES-NI (5620) and I wish to use it to its full potential.

It was also suggested to me that I should consider loop-aes instead, and in the readme a friend of me found that on 2.6.19, loop-aes supports lo_threads and then form 1-4 threads for each loop device. It looks as if this would be a better direction to take.

What do you guys think?
