How would this affect speed? I would only have customers data encrypted as well as my own working directory where I keep all cvs etc. System parts would be without encryption.
The access delay, if any, is hardly noticable. I use fuse-encfs to store my financial data and revelation database and have not noticed any access speed issues. If you are encrypting your entire home directory using fuse-encfs, you will have to unlock before you login. I would recomment creating a secure folder within your home which you keep encrypted. Note that you have to lock/unlock your secure directory manually.
