check your setup. I used to run a 386-20 (5MB RAM) and it took about 3 seconds for a 1024 bit key. Given it didn't even have a copro (not sure when/if PGP uses one) and that it was off of a Stackered drive, I'd expect you to have much better times.

That's consistent with the timings I've been getting. It should take about 9 seconds to decrypt an arbitrary message with a 2048-bit key with the setup you describe. Of course, I usually use X, so that probably does throw off the timings a bit. - -- Mark =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= markm@voicenet.com | finger -l for PGP key 0xe3bf2169 http://www.voicenet.com/~markm/ | d61734f2800486ae6f79bfeb70f95348 "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four.
