Yes, I fumbled a commit and slipped in some debugging code in 1.12.

I've had 1.13 running my toture-test here for 38 hours now with no

Much worse than that:  They get cut into smaller I/O requests and the
cpu has to chew on them a lot.  While GBDE is not directly slow, it
will never be as fast as an unencrypted partitition.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
