A partial improvement can be had by periodically running

        gpg --rebuild-keydb-caches

A bigger performance boost is to set no-auto-check-trustdb in
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf (especially seeing as how you're doing it periodically
via a cron job). Not suffering that 30 second wait every time Evolution
fetched a new key on me was nice.
