I did a clean install of Hardy 32bit last week, and TrueCrypt 5.1a on 
the same day (I store various client and personal data in separate 
TrueCrypt volumes).  While I'm not a heavy-usage TrueCrypt user 
(low-frequency writes, small files, volumes of 100MB or so at maximum), 
I haven't seen any sort of performance issues.

Folks did report some issues during the beta phase of Hardy, but it 
appears to be solved now.
