First what version of gnupg do you use ? And with which OS ? There were
some sparc related changes in 1.0.1 and later, so you might
want to try gnupg-1.0.1e to see if that's faster.

Also what algorithm did you use? 

If it's still too slow, we'll have to use the new functions that
appeared in gmp-3.0. You can look at http://www.swox.com/gmp/ to
see the speed comparisons of UltraSPARC versus other architectures
with this version.
