I'd like to learn more about what's going on that makes this freeze for
you. It's possible that it's talking to gpg-agent and gpg-agent isn't
responding as fast as you'd like because it's invoking pinentry
somewhere else...
can you try running the command in question manually and showing me
what's produced on the status-fd?
I tried this myself and see:
$ DISPLAY=:0 gpg --no-tty --status-fd 1 --yes --enable-progress-filter
--command-fd 0 --output $(pwd)/output --decrypt -- test.gpg
[GNUPG:] PROGRESS test.gpg ? 0 866 B

[GNUPG:] PINENTRY_LAUNCHED 27754
it hangs here while pinentry is trying to collect my passphrase.
If i cancel the pinentry, then it produces the following text and
returns with error code 2:

Are you using a forwarded agent or a local agent? what pinentry
programs are available on the machine in question? which one is
installed as the default?
