I don't know with entropy source GnuTLS uses, but in some similar case
with cyrus/TLS my fix was to convince the cyrus to use /dev/urandom
instead of /dev/random (I moved /dev/random somwhere else and put a
symlink to /dev/urandomm there instead.)  /dev/urandom is not the best
entropy source, but faster than /dev/random.


Again, I do not know, it the same would help here.
