Speed of trustdb update?

Hi,

I'm using gnupg quite a lot and after importing ~100 keys from a
keysigning party, the trustdb updates got painfully slow:

$ time gpg --check-trustdb
gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model
gpg: depth: 0  valid:   1  signed: 124  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u
gpg: depth: 1  valid: 124  signed:  37  trust: 113-, 0q, 0n, 3m, 8f, 0u
gpg: depth: 2  valid:   9  signed:  11  trust: 5-, 3q, 0n, 0m, 1f, 0u
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2006-06-25

real    0m54.860s
user    0m42.880s
sys     0m1.710s


As you see it takes almost am minute to update everything. Is there a
way to make that process quicker? I already do --rebuild-keydb-caches
every night but it doesn't help very much. The only solution right now
is to disable the automatic trustdb-checks and update it in the middle
of the night.

The system is a AMD K6 with 350MHz, perhaps it's just too slow? Any
ideas how to speed up the trustdb check would be appreciated.

Regards,

Sebastian
