Which cryptsetup version are you using?

There was a bug in that test on fast machines (fixed in 1.6.3, I hope :)

But anyway, it is not intended as rigorous speed test,
it was intended for comparison of ciphers speed on particular machine.

Test basically tries to encrypt 1MB block (or multiple of this
if machine is too fast). All it runs through kernel userspace crypto API
interface.
(Real FDE is always slower because it runs over 512bytes blocks.)
