sqlcipher 'open' performance with cordova and Cordova-SQLitePlugin

[PowerMogli]

Is it true that the connection to the sqlite database is not used again, although the connection to openDatabase has been established once at start and the returned database object is repeatedly used for all transactions? My question arises because of this article https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21669431/sqlcipher-open-performance-with-cordova-and-cordova-sqliteplugin and the uncertainty in our team because the SQLite cipher version is very slow in compare to the unencrypted version on an Android tablet.
