Hi;
W.A.G. I'm new to linux and also know little to nothing about encrypted
file systems - but I just took a look at that link you provided and it
seems that they are using a SMP kernel - do you have a SMP system? If
you aren't using a HyperThreaded CPU, Dual-Core, or Multi-CPU system,
I'd guess you'd have issues.

Another W.A.G.;
Are you using 3GB of RAM already ? with 21MB free?
When I use 'top' (Debian Sarge 2.6.8-2-i386) it displays output in KB
Apologies if i missed your Hardware specs - and if my WAG'es are way
off the mark
