Just get a box with a supported very-high-speed AES hardware accelerator (e.g. recent amd64/x86-64 processors with AES-NI), and tune your dm-crypt usage to cyphers that can be hardware accelerated.
Yes, my next machine will have AES-NI. :-)But, the problem is processes with a long-lived writes blocking everything else, not encryption/ decryption speed.
