Package: gpa
Version: 0.4.1-2
Severity: important

After having imported the entire Debian developer keyring into GPG, I've no=
ticed
that GPA takes a *VERY* long time to start up. Closer examination reveals t=
hat this
is because it does a --list-keys --with-colons but not in --fast-list-mode.=
 This is
great for presenting lots of details on the screen, but I think it would be=
 better
for these details to be fetched on demand rather than on program startup. T=
his would
be done like so:

  gpg --no-options --batch --list-keys --with-colons --with-fingerprint <ke=
yid>

=2E..when the user selects a key to be examined. At startup, the --fast-lis=
t-mode
option should be passed. This way, startup is quick, but without sacrificing
details, and enabling me to use this otherwise very useful program again. :)
The --with-fingerprint option should probably not be passed on startup since
the fingerprint is not displayed in the list, but this doesn't have as much=
 of
an impact.

I've set the Severity on this bug as `important' because it prevents me fro=
m using
GPA in most cases, since it takes over a minute to start up on my Pentium I=
II 450!
