I remember a talk about adding an option to reduce the boot delay to a more reasonable value, I wonder if it's already implemented?

Yes, it is the PIM.

Cool thanks. Is it possible to set VC to remember the PIM value for my volume?

  Using 1.21 or 1.22 Beta 3 version, you can store the PIM using Favorites.

    But the system favourite settings are not relevant for the boot process, or am I wrong? They are made for the volumes to be mounted after the system boot; but that is the process that Isengar wants to speed up.

AFAIK No. Consider it to be a second PW to make it a little bit more secure.

  I don't need more security, nobody is going to brute force my data using a supercomputer. https://xkcd.com/538/
  What I (and most users) really need is encryption that doesn't stand in my way too much.

I suppose that the vast majority of VC users is very satisfied with its behaviour. So let's keep it as it is.
Any other user is free to select a different product that meets his personal preferences.

  Well... that's why I'm still using TrueCrypt, and quite a few users do the same.

    That will be alright for the next 2-3 years, then You should switch to VC. See You then.

      Still not switching. Don't see any reasons to do so.
