This enhanced security adds some delay ONLY to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data. VeraCrypt can mount TrueCrypt volumes. It also can convert them to VeraCrypt format.
