Just to be clear: a single "gpg --import $KEY_FILE" takes 1-2 minutes with your current configuration and keyring, right? If so: wow. We certainly did not expect this kind of extreme use cases when designing parcimonie, thanks for enlightening me :P I'm not sure how much work (initial implementation + added code complexity + maintenance) I want to put into working around GnuPG's slowness in extreme cases. So, to assert the importance of this bug, I would first need to know how long it takes, once you've switched to the "keyring" directive in gpg.conf, and removed the duplicated keys from your personal keyring. > thus when I run > parcimonie every $random-amount of time and read mail and encounter a > encrypted or signed mail, my mail client is blocked by gpg being blocked, > blocking me from reading mail, which is quite annoying.

Yep. Importing into a custom ~/.local/share/parcimonie/updated-keys.gpg keyring would be doable. Let's reconsider this once we have the answer to the question above. > This feels like a quite horrible workaround but as I see it this is indeed a > problem with gpg and not with my mailclient... Possibly whatever operation GnuPG is doing when importing a key could be optimized. I've not found any relevant parameter we could pass to --import-options, so likely this would have to happen in GnuPG itself. No idea if/how this is possible, and I've not looked at GnuPG's tasks tracker.
