And it works! Woo hoo! Darxus's messages, which used to take as long
as 10 seconds for me to verify, now pop right up!

This is after I updated to 1.0.7, then did:

  gpg --rebuild-keydb-caches

Then used gpg --edit-key <my key ID> to assign ultimate trust to my
own key (I'd never explictly used the trustdb stuff previously, so
you may not all need to perform this step).

The first time I verified a signature in mutt, gpg automatically did
a gpg --check-trustdb (it's documented that it will do this when it
seems to be necessary, though it actually looks like it does it
based on date... kind of like ext2fs forced fscks ;^>) which took
a moment (though nowhere near so long as the previous delay). One
could do an explicit gpg --check-trustdb if one really wanted to.
