Yes, you need to run an encrypted root but don't want all the overhead of |

encrypting everything in /usr. Someone recently posted some benchmarks |

showing how awful an atom's performance can be with encryption, so |

Of course, running an encrypted root means you need an init thingy[tm] |

anyway, so there is no problem with mounting /usr from there too. |
