I would like to know how to calculate the extra time that might be required to expand a container created dynamic with a very small size (assuming that there are no space limitations on the disk where the container is placed). Would it be noticeable?

Sometimes we introduce huge files (100-1000 GB or more) in containers that are created dynamically with a very small size. We created them small to avoid the time involved in created a fix size huge container (1 TB or more) but not sure is this time is then consumed in expand the container when copying files.

How the time used by vercrypt to expand the container can be estimated?
