I'm getting a new development laptop soon, and I'm thinking of using TrueCrypt to encrypt the whole disk.

What kind of performance drop can I expect? 10%? 30%? more? Also, assuming the workload has an effect, would compiling/using Visual Studio be affected much? I cannot seem to find anything like this on the web.
