Agreed, those do not look correct... I wonder what happened there. On
new run, I got more sane results:

# Algorithm | Key | Encryption | Decryption
aes-cbc 128b 139,1 MiB/s 1713,6 MiB/s
serpent-cbc 128b 62,2 MiB/s 232,9 MiB/s
twofish-cbc 128b 116,3 MiB/s 243,7 MiB/s
aes-cbc 256b 375,1 MiB/s 1159,4 MiB/s
serpent-cbc 256b 62,1 MiB/s 214,9 MiB/s
twofish-cbc 256b 139,3 MiB/s 217,5 MiB/s
aes-xts 256b 1296,4 MiB/s 1272,5 MiB/s
serpent-xts 256b 283,3 MiB/s 275,6 MiB/s
twofish-xts 256b 294,8 MiB/s 299,3 MiB/s
aes-xts 512b 984,3 MiB/s 991,1 MiB/s
serpent-xts 512b 227,7 MiB/s 220,6 MiB/s
twofish-xts 512b 220,6 MiB/s 220,2 MiB/s
