To automatically encrypt the file volume you will have to put a command
in the "run_after" file. (see my previous email for howto link).
As far as performance hits - below is a set of benches from a while back.:

(this is on single Xeon 2.8 EM64T, 1 Gig RAM with RAID5 running Gentoo
in two separate 64 and 32 bit installs)

GnuPG 1.4.2 Benchmarks (symmetric encryption, no compress)
4.0 Gig backup file
                          GnuPG-64        |           GnuPG-32
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
twofish (256)        253s (16.2 mbps)     |         257s (15.9 mbps)
aes (128)            310s (13.2 mbps)     |         278s (14.7 mbps)
aes192               318s (12.8 mbps)     |         288s (14.2 mbps)
aes256               325s (12.6 mbps)     |         311s (13.2 mbps)


OpenSSL 0.9.7-r2 Benchmarks
4.0 Gig backup file
                       OpenSSL-64         |         OpenSSL-32
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
aes (128)            164s (25.0 mbps)     |         163s (25.1 mbps)
aes192               166s (33.9 mbps)     |         168s (24.4 mbps)
aes256               173s (23.5 mbps)     |         179s (22.9 mbps)

Please note, that Bacula's native implementation of OpenSSL will be a
lot slower (10 times?) because it calculates signatures for each file.
