I noticed that too initially.  One NoCeM'ers key was not on the key
server I was using so things were taking forever whenever one of his
articles came through.

My concern now is that there are a LOT of NoCeM messages waiting to be
processed in the morning and it often take 5+ minutes for all the PGP
verification to occur.  This is on an R4000 100Mhz SGI Indy.  Is there
a significant risk of NoCeM spoofing?
