How is it encrypted? (With which kernel encryption stuff?)

I guess it'd be useful to see where all that time is spent, if you have
time. Enable CONFIG_PROFILING, boot with `profile=1', do:

readprofile -r
mount ...
readprofile -n -v -m /boot/System.map | sort -n -k 3 | tail -40

(Make sure it's the correct System.map).
