HDD encryption vs. battery life

Hi list,

I'd like to use hard disk encryption on my notebook (root, home, swap -
everything). Either dm-crypt or truecrypt.

I wonder what will be the impact on power consumption? Is it noticeable,
or does it not make any difference at all? Does anyone have any
experience with this? 

Thanks,
-MM
