    Its in the 1-3% range. You wont even notice it if you have even a 4 year old system. Some laptop hard drives even offer built in hardware based encryption.

        You guys are digging too deep on this one.
        That doesn't help if your laptop full of trade secrets from work and/or personal financial information gets stolen now does it?

            +1.

            I have a load of personal financial info, photos etc. on my laptop as well as all kinds of customer data and other things covered by NDAs. If that data was obtained by the wrong people I'd be boned.

            I run PGP WDE 10. I used to have it on my 2.16 ghz Core Duo Macbook Pro, and I didn't notice any degradation in performance. On my new 2.53 ghz Core i5 Macbook Pro none of PGP's processes ever register a single percent of processor usage. It's a non-issue.
