Ok. I'm not really sure about this but I think that full disk encryption on a software level with a key storng enough will bring some performance loss. And some people just want some confidential files to be encrypted.
I'm running full-LV encryption for /home (and some other directories) in my laptop, and the performance loss is nonexistant for me. Getting the bits off the rotating rust takes quite longer then decrypting them.
After all, all the cores in that thing have to be good for something.

I've been running full disk encryption via LUKS since F8 with a 6 year old laptop. I don't see any noticeable performance loss.
You would with an Atom.
