Speed? I'm encrypting 100mb per 10 seconds...

I am trying to encrypt files on a desktop with PointyCastle's AES/CBC block cipher but it seems very slow for me. It is taking about 10 seconds for a sample 100mb file. Is there any benchmark for how quickly the library should encrypt files? I have an example gist that shows my code if you want. You just need to change the input and output file names.

Should it take 10 seconds to encrypt 100mb?

Thanks.
