`Marked modes` are new in Borg 1.1 and are not backwards-compatible with Borg 1.0.x.
On modern Intel/AMD CPUs (except very cheap ones), AES is usually
hardware-accelerated.
BLAKE2b is faster than SHA256 on Intel/AMD 64-bit CPUs

`none` mode uses no encryption and no authentication. It uses SHA256 as chunk
ID hash. Not recommended, rather consider using an authenticated or

authenticated/encrypted mode. This mode has possible denial-of-service issues
when running ``borg create`` on contents controlled by an attacker.
Use it only for new repositories where no encryption is wanted **and** when compatibility
with 1.0.x is important. If compatibility with 1.0.x is not important, use
`authenticated-blake2` or `authenticated` instead.
