Your key downloads in under a second for me, so it’s not a size issue. I find 
the hanging behaviour very odd, I wonder if there’s still an issue in the name 
resolution on that machine. Does the hanging behaviour happen on every 
invocation now? Is it just slow for keyserver lookups or does it happen with 
other operations? Does adding “standard-resolver” to dirmngr.conf make a 
difference?

I have access to an apple silicon macbook but it has macports installed rather 
than homebrew, and I don’t want to mix and match. I’ll see if I can find 
another one in $WORK for testing.
