encrypt to partition

Hello,

2.6.25.16-0.1-default
os : 11.0
notebook : compaq presario cq50-110tr

when i installed suse to my new notebook
i created separated partition for /home directory and enabled cryption for this partition.
Does any body use encryption like me?
does it have differences from encrypted area on disk like loop partition?

does anybody see performance problem?

thanks
