I'm seeing a similar response on win32, but only with gpg enabled.  It
seems that launching the gpg subprocess and encrypting the message
takes about 0.5 seconds, and during that time all GUI message
processing is frozen.

As an example, I'll type a message, hit enter, and immediately start
typing 1,2,3,4,5 etc.  When Psi unfreezes only the 3,4,5 is processed
(or 4,5, sometimes).

Is the GPG processing done in the foreground thread?  Is it something
we can perhaps run in the background?
