Has anyone else noticed that using gpg with debian-keyring 2001.09.03 results in excessively slow trustdb-related things?
For example, it often takes me 10 minutes to verify a gpg signed mail now. Strace shows literally hundreds of thousands of seeks and reads in the trustdb file, with many thousands of duplicated reads of each record. Another example, I ran gpg --list-keys 6 hours ago. It's not done yet. This on a P2-300, 256mb ram. The slowdown is because it is evidently inserting each key into the trustdb in turn, and a single insert takes several minutes. It does seem that after doing this thing with the trustdb for a key, future uses of that key are as fast as I used to expect. -- see shy jo
