I'm still dabbling with gpg related learning/familiarization.  Presently 
I'm using both enigmail and gpa (gnu privacy assistant GUI) to handle 
the commandline gnupg for me.  And occasionally commands for something 
or other.

I was recently surprised to find that the keyserver url is apparently 
'built-in' to dirmngr.

I'm surprised at the time required by my system (the one I'm working 
with for this is not my slowest) to generate a keypair.

I would be interested in the comments of others using both strong and 
weak systems/hardware about your experiences with how long such key 
generation takes.

"Your key is being generated.  Even on fast computers this may take a 
while.  Please be patient."

The next time I do it, I'm going to set a clock (or a calendar :-)
