Can you take a look at https://bugs.debian.org/800032 to see whether anything there looks like it might be a functioning workaround for you? also, it's not clear to me whether you've tried pinentry-gtk2 directly, or whether you're measuring a delay from the use of (for example) gpg or gpgsm, via gpg-agent. to test pinentry-gtk2 on its own, i'd recommend doing the following from a terminal: echo getpin | pinentry-gtk-2 This should prompt you (immediately!) for a passphrase, and then echo that passphrase to stdout. for example: 0 dkg@alice:~$ echo getpin | pinentry-gtk-2 OK Pleased to meet you D abvc OK 0 dkg@alice:~$ Does that cause the delay for you? If not, what steps *do* cause the delay? Regards, --dkg
