Randy:
I have been using:
http://wwwkeys.us.pgp.net
It does not seem to be as heavily loaded as
many of the other servers. (This posting is
now likely to destroy that advantage :-)
Having said that, it still takes 10 seconds or
more to get a response.
It would be good to have a set of servers that
had enough horsepower to return answers more promptly.
