Yo!

When verifying a signature by a new key, the trustdb is rechecked, which
is quite a lengthy operation (takes a few seconds on a P-III 350MHz with
>250 keys in the keyring).

As frequently, the freshly imported key is one of those dead-ends with
no signatures but self signatures, there is no way it's going to be
trusted. Does this happen enough to warrant the key importer flagging
these keys, so the trustdb check could be omitted in these cases?

Just a thought.

cheers
