Aside that trust checking during signature verification in 1.0.6b is waay
slower thanit was in 1.0.6a. And this is after setting ultimate trust on
keys and rerunning update-trustdb a few times.

Daaing my remark:

11) I have a (local signature) on a key using signing subkey of my key
(since this is lsig it is not very important). This sig is not taken into
account when calculating trust:

89 signatures not checked due to missing keys

This is after I set this key to be fully trusted. Also it led to keys signed
by this key to be not considered valid.
