It seems that your application was using GPGME, which is the official 
API for the GnuPG crypto engine. For it to work, you'd need Gpg4win or another 
build of GnuPG and GPGME for windows installed. There is GnuPG only build for 
Windows, but as I remember it may not include GPGME.

I am not e what you mean by remotely. If you are accessing a keyserver or 
using WKD, it first depends on the speed of the server response and the 
network. Both should be fast. GnuPG then may need to compute the trust 
relations and this can take a bit, if there are many. Before you can make 
this faster, I'd try to find out where the time is spend.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
