I investigated the issue a bit further: The gpglib passes the
--list-sigs option to gpg, but does not use the sigs in any way (the
lines are ignored in dolist_callback). Changing that to --list-keys in
list.c on line 63 fixes this and makes the start considerably faster:

-      argvec[1]= secret ? "--list-secret-keys":"--list-sigs";
+      argvec[1]= secret ? "--list-secret-keys":"--list-keys";

I hope I didn’t miss anything, but I think this works just fine.

Greetings,
Joachim
