man gpg:

BUGS
   On many systems this program should be installed as setuid(root). 
   This is necessary to lock memory pages.  Locking  memory pages 
   prevents the operating system from writing memory pages to disk. If 
   you get no warning message about insecure memory your operating system 
   supports locking without being root. The program drops  root  privi­
   leges as soon as locked memory is allocated.

  --no-secmem-warning
          Suppress the warning about "using insecure memory".
