2 seconds are way too long.  I look at most mails not even for a second;
if I need to wait 2 seconds for decryption and another 2 for verifying
the signature, this will be a very noticeable delay.  From a UI design
point of view, any noticeable delay is a no go.

And for sure I need to make sure a power socket is close to me if my
device is constantly crunching numbers.


Shalom-Salam,
