thanks, can you give me a sense of the size of your public keyring and
the number of elements in it?

  gpg2 --list-keys --with-colons | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq -c
  gpg2 --list-secret-keys --with-colons | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq -c

and can you tell me whether you have no-auto-check-trustdb in
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf ?

Thanks.  The next time this hang happens, can you use ps to figure out
what the exact command line is that is running, and report it here?
This might be an enigmail issue, so if we can find anything to improve
there, that would be great.  (i'm happy to forward the bug to enigmail
upstream if we track it down)
