For those doing any web development on your system or even hosting a SOHO server on a repurposed laptop or the various mini PCs relying on mobile SOCs, the Nginx web server performance for serving static content didn't see any performance hit from the encrypted environment.

👁 Apache Cassandra benchmark with settings of Test: Writes. Full Disk Encryption was the fastest.

👁 Apache IoTDB benchmark with settings of Device Count: 500, Batch Size Per Write: 100, Sensor Count: 500, Client Number: 100. No Encryption was the fastest.

Ditto, for those running various databases on a repurposed laptop or mini PC for edge environments, in nearly all the database cases there was no measurable performance difference on this AMD Zen 5 Strix Point system from using Ubuntu 25.04's full disk encryption.
