This is exactly what I was complaining about on IRC a few days ago. I simply am not going to use the Debian keyring if the precence of so many keys causes verifying a single mail to take barely-finite lengths of time. That's too bad, since there's a lot to be gained by actually verifying Debian signatures. > Another example, I ran gpg --list-keys 6 hours ago. It's not done yet. > This on a P2-300, 256mb ram.
