I hate to say "read the fine message, please," but -- well, read the fine message, please. CTAK encryption is not parallelizable. Given that's the mode used in GnuPG, GnuPG's symmetric encryption is not parallelizable. There do exist some parallelizable modes, but GnuPG doesn't use them. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
