Well, soooooooorrryyy.

Encryption does not have to be cpu-heavy... it's usually
when it's combined with compression that you see any real
issues, and there's no point (attempting) compression on
video streams.

WEP is not secure, in spite of its name.

I'm not up on WPA, so I'll take your word on it.

But no, I wasn't saying cfs is a better performer than
samba, just that if you're going to go to nfs over wireless
and you pgp-sign your e-mail...
