GnuPG uses hybrid encryption. Content is already encrypted with symmetric encryption, and only the randomly generated symmetric key, 16 or 32 bytes large usually, is encrypted asymmetrically to the recipient, possibly twice as OP mentioned two customers. Since symmetric mode of GnuPG uses passphrase stretching, I doubt that would be faster anyway, though I haven't tried this. The problem appears to be somewhere else. However, I think the OP should provide more details. File sizes, specifications of the computers it runs on, software versions... My first instinct is: there is insufficient randomness, and GnuPG is blocking waiting for more to become available before it can do any work.
