qca-gnupg is known to be unoptimized, the main problem being that it queries 
your key list at every passphrase prompt.

Querying the key list (by any means, entryList or otherwise) should not be 
slower than the equivalent for 0.10.  In fact, it should probably be faster, 
since it is not querying for the keyring filenames like the 0.10 code.  The 
0.10 code would query the public keys and secret keys each in two modes, for 
a total of 4 executions.  This is still planned for qca-gnupg as well, but 
until then there are only 2 executions.

So hopefully all is as expected.
