Adding to the above, if you get your version of GnuPG from=20
http://www.nullify.org, you will find it optimised for Windows AND MD5=20
integrity figures are on the website.

The nullify.org build (I believe) takes the original source, patches it,=20
and compiles it using a compiler more optimized for Windows.  MD5=20
checks are available for th source, patches, and finally optimised=20
code.
