Right. I addition you can't compare it with a simple block cipher as implemented by OpenSSL. OpenPGP does a lot more: It hashes the text to create a signature (which most uses do). A kind of MAC is computed to detected manipulations of the ciphertext. The data is compressed. The data is split up into parts so that you do not have an optimal alignment. GnuPG may decide to use the slow 3DES algorithm (unlikely these days) and in general it has never been optimized for highest speed. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
