as for me, i was having a look today at a conectiva package, and it
was slow. I noticed --nosignature was much faster. I just tried
strace:

% strace rpm -qpl ash-0.3.8-56995cl.i386.rpm 
...
connect(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(11371), sin_addr=inet_addr("18.7.14.139")}, 16) = 0
send(6, "GET /pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x"..., 177, 0) = 177
...

% host 18.7.14.139
139.14.7.18.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer CRYPTONOMICON.MIT.EDU.


i tried on ash-0.3.8-6mdk.i586.rpm, and it didn't occur
