Well, I sometimes receive mails encrypted to 20 or so keys and some of them use the wild card keyid (-R) feature. Now, this is not a problem if you have just one or two secret keys but with 30 secret keys it is a major annoyance because all of them need to be trial decrypted which takes a long time and requires to enter many passphrases. Eventually gpg sees my own key and can now decrypt it. The solution to this is pretty clear, we need to read all public key encrypted packets first and sort them so that own keys come first followed by other keys and finally by the wild card keys. This also allows us to order the trial decryption to minimize smart card changes. I have not implement this because obviously I have not yet suffered enough from that problem.
