We are using GPGME in our C++ application to decrypt PGP files sent to us by a
client. The files are approximately 60meg encrypted, 500meg decrypted.
We have tested the application on two different boxes with the following
configurations:
· Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 16GB RAM 8 3GHz cores
· Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 16GB RAM 8 3GHz cores
· Latest Windows Hot fix
· GPG 1.1.4
Our application is using a single thread for the decryption. We are
dynamically linking to the libpgme-11.dll using LoadLibrary().
During testing we are only running the application that is doing the decryption
and we have been testing only one data file. What is troubling is that the
amount of time taken to decrypt the file varies tremendously – in the best case
it takes less than 2 minutes and in the worse case 7+ hours. No matter how
long it takes the decryption completes successfully.
What could be causing the performance differences?
Also, I have noticed that the GPG.exe process does not terminate and continues
to use the CPU even after the application cleans up and shuts down. I have
observed multiple GPG.exe processes in Task Manager. The decryption cleanup
calls gpgme_data_release() to free the data buffers, gpgme_release to free the
context, and FreeLibrary to unload the dll. What am I neglecting to do?
