faster way of determing if the passphrase is correct or not

[folkert at vanheusden.com]

Hi,

For a program of mine I'd like to quickly verify if the entered passphrase
is correct. Currently I'm calling "gpgme_op_sign" and check its return-
value to see if the passphrase is correct or not (if it cannot sign, the
passphrase is incorrect). This seems to be a slow method: my 2.8GHz P4
can only do it 220 times a second. So I was wondering: is there a faster
method? Any api-call I don't know of? Or?
