Uncomment 
        pseudo-device  cgd  4  # cryptographic disk driver
and recompile the Kernel. Then create the pseudodevices with
        cd /dev/ && MAKEDEV cgd
and configure the CGD partition with cgdconfig.

Of course CGD is slower than plain vanilla FFS, but blowfish is the
fastest algorithm. And it's much faster than CFS.
