Tests of gocryptfs v1.7 and later are run on an
Intel Core i5-3470 CPU (quad-core Ivy Bridge, AES-NI supported).
Earlier tests on a Pentium G630 (Dual-core Sandy Bridge, no AES-NI).

The working directory is on tmpfs.
The untar test uses https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.0.tar.gz .
The archive is placed on tmpfs as well.
