Description Sean Rhone 2018-11-26 20:50:25 UTC 
Description of problem: When opening my KeePass database with KeePassXC on Fedora 29, it takes about 5 seconds to open.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.4


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open KeePassXC
2. Open a 158kB KeePass database file with an Encryption Algorithm of "AES: 256-bit", a Key Derivation Function of "AES-KDF (KDBX 3.1)", and "9999999" Transform rounds
3. Type in the master password and open the database

Actual results: Database takes about 5 seconds to open


Expected results: Database should open in or about 1 second


Additional info: This seemingly only started happening in F29 (wasn't an issue on F28), and isn't an issue on openSUSE Tumbleweed (last tried a month ago), Ubuntu 18.10 (last tried about 2 weeks ago), and Windows 10 (last tried a few days ago), all with the same version of KeePassXC (2.3.4), same database file, and same computer/hardware
Comment 1 Germano Massullo 2018-11-26 20:57:07 UTC 
Argon2 is the very best Key Derivation Function you should use instead of AES-KDF
Please show us the output of
# lscpu | grep name

If I recall correctly, Argon2 was incompatible with a KeePass client I used on an iOS device, but I'll check into this again to be sure.

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz
Comment 3 Mukundan Ragavan 2018-11-26 23:20:27 UTC 
Sean, instead of "9999999", what do you get when you benchmark? Does the number of rounds change? Any change in opening speed?

The benchmark puts it around "3802281" (anywhere between 3300000 and 3900000) and and opening speed is faster (takes about a second)

Comment 11 Sean Rhone 2019-10-22 01:26:48 UTC 
This is still seemingly a problem in F30 even with the latest KeePassXC package (keepassxc-2.4.3-6.fc30)

Under macOS, same KeePassXC version (2.4.3), if I do the 1-second benchmark, I get a "19063181" transform rounds (19M). If I do the benchmark on the same computer with F30, I get "3355855" (3M). If I keep the same 19M transform rounds on F30, it takes 5-7 seconds to load the database.

It seems like KeePassXC is either not using the CPU fully, or maybe not using AES-NI.

I currently have a i5-4278U CPU, and "aes" is advertised under lscpu.
Comment 12 Sean Rhone 2019-10-22 10:13:59 UTC 
Under Ubuntu 19.10, KeePassXC 2.4.3 gets a Transform rounds of "22991543" (22M) with the 1-second benchmark, and also opens the 19M rounds database in about 1 second. So there is definitely something going on specifically with Fedora.
Comment 13 Germano Massullo 2019-10-23 08:44:05 UTC 
I opened an upstream bugreport. Please add details there
