Yes, but personally I don't care much about small performence losses,
and do encrypt everything. You were the one mentioning threat models,
the fbi, mafia...



Besides encrypting my private files, I also at least want to encrypt
swap and tmp. Besides that one want to make sure that the system
binaries haven't been tampered with. Encrypting everything is an easy
approach to get one step further in that direction.
