Example on Raspberry Pi 4:
$ ./gocryptfs/gocryptfs -init $(mktemp -d)

When somebody posts "gocryptfs -speed" results, they are
most helpful together with the CPU model. Add the cpu model
to the output.
Example:
$ ./gocryptfs -speed
gocryptfs v2.2.0-beta1-5-g52b0444-dirty; go-fuse v2.1.1-0.20210825171523-3ab5d95a30ae; 2021-09-14 go1.17.1 linux/amd64
cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz; with AES acceleration
AES-GCM-256-OpenSSL 862.79 MB/s
AES-GCM-256-Go 997.71 MB/s (selected in auto mode)
AES-SIV-512-Go 159.58 MB/s
XChaCha20-Poly1305-OpenSSL 729.65 MB/s
XChaCha20-Poly1305-Go 843.97 MB/s (selected in auto mode)
We used to have "first Translate() wins". This is not deterministic,
as the LOOKUP for the root directory does not seem to reach us, so
the first user LOOKUP would win, which may be on a mountpoint.
I noticed that growslice() shows up in the cpuprofile.
Avoiding slice append for the private jey copy gives a 0.6% speedup:

Go has a high overhead for each C call, so batch
all openssl operations in the new C function chacha20poly1305_seal.
