I switched to FreeBSD 9 lately and to a CPU with AESNI. When I looked at top (geli-based ZFS) I saw something strange as it's an old install, I did not use label, but do now.
With top (S) I saw the only harddisk using a label has 300%! More CPU-usage than all other drives (regardless of the load it's always ~ 4x more).
Is this just a coincidence? (changing the port of the harddisk made no difference) as I cannot really believe labels prodce that much overhead, or is it maybe the combo geli on label / zfs on geli_label?
