Has anyone experienced this? After FileVault encrypting my home directory, clip playback in iMovie was really jumpy, stalling during playback etc.
I figured it was probably due to the 'on the fly' unencrypting that FileVault does so I turned FileVault off.
This seems to have sorted out the problem; playing clips in iMovie is as smooth as ever.
FYI: iMac 17" (1GHz), 768MB RAM, no other apps open.
I'd be interested in hearing from users of more powerful machines to see if this is an issue.

I really wonder why 90% of people would want to use this anyway on a desktop. Scared that someone might start-up your computer in Firewire target mode and look at all your porn? 
You got people in your home smart enough to do that you got other problems to begin with

He he - nup. I just wanted to try it out, didn't realise it would take 3 hrs to turn on, and then 3 hrs to turn off either! 
Doesn't FV make your computer more secure on a network? I thought that was the point of it...

Sure- if you've got open protocols for people to connect to your computer... Most end-users don't have too many network ports open, or they're in home networks with people like their brothers, sisters, and parents, and this isn't really a situation where encrypted data makes too much sense.
But realistically I think FileVault is stupid for 75% of Mac OS X users. Well I know it's stupid for me, and that's all I know. I couldn't care less if someone wanted to get access to a crappy paper I wrote for my History class, or the source code to this week's Java homework. But I guess I'm just a kid and I don't store mission critical information on my drive. Afterall, I pretty much reformat my drive every other month or so for some reason or another. Eh.
