The only thing that I noticed is the volume file size... I tried one with 250 mb, and it is really slow opening it once I mount it... nearly stalled.
I find volume file size that is 100 mb and below is workable.
How many cypher / hash driver files do you have ?

I haven't tried it with large containers on PDA yet - just a 50MB one - but if you only keep the three required drivers in FreeOTFE directory on PDA (the FreeOTFE driver, the crypto driver, and the hash driver) and remove the crypto and hash drivers that you don't use, the open speed goes up tremendously.

I also suggest emailing Sarah Dean, I had a few questions / suggestions and she replied very quickly and was very helpful.

Added: nevermind, I misread your statement - you're saying it's slow after you mount your container. It could have something to do with size of internal files. E.g. if I open the directory of iNav program in file explorer (it's not in an encrypted container) it takes looooong time to refresh the screen, I figured it had something to do with size of the file, or perhaps reading the icon from it. Do you keep a lot of files, or some really large files, in the root directory of that container ?
