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.
