It takes 8-9 secs until pinentry asks for the PIN of the OpenPGP card

Hello,

I wonder if it taks always 8-9 secs, or it's only for the first time.

The scdaemon dynamically loads PC/SC shared library and asks PC/SC
service for available card readers.  PC/SC service is invoked, if not
there.  Then, PC/SC service dynamically loads serial driver
(libccidtwin.so).  And it's the serial driver which accesses the card
access chip (IIUC, it's STM32L4xx).  That's what is going on.

But 8 seconds are too much.  Something is going wrong...
