DES-X Encryption slow / Help needed

[chants]

By the way, if you want to parallelize this, you should consider a different cipher mode of operation, preferably Galois Counter Mode (GCM) as the ECB mode has various attack vectors and security risks, which is probably why you are using CBC, but it doesn't scale well for very large data sizes.

Thanks chants.

I am using CBC because the encryption scheme is not done by me it is the software I am trying to recreate.
