I have a new TW installation with a 940GB encrypted root partition

(including /boot, excluding /boot/efi).

...

When starting the machine, grub asks in text mode for the passphrase. After entering the passphrase, it takes about 20s until the graphical boot screen appears.

I feel this is much too long....

Has anyone a similar experience?

Indeed interesting. This is what it looks:

Following the reading above, the hash of 256 should be OK. I reduced the itercounts to 1000 (ms), that reduced it to 13s

The size of disk is not important. 20 seconds is indeed too long. What CPU do you have?

Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 15,4 GiB

(I guess this is not the problem)

Cheers Axel

I've found this: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-kde-slow-decryption-hidden-startup/92473... """ Did you install using BIOS or UEFI? Decryption can take a long time when using BIOS because limited system resources are available. It takes around 20 seconds for decryption if I install using BIOS. UEFI is much quicker, but even that isn't instant. """
