The time is spent updating the trust DB. If you put
'no-auto-check-trustdb' in .gnupg/gpg.conf, that is skipped, and the
time goes down significantly. I'm using a cronjob that calls gpg
--check-trustdb via a Makefile hourly to build the trust DB.
check-trustdb: pubring.gpg
gpg --check-trustdb 2>> check-trustdb.log
touch $@
It is also a good idea to call gpg --rebuild-keydb-caches from time to
time to speed up things further.
