I've set my GnuPG to automatically fetch public keys that it encounters that
aren't on its keyring.  After reading groups and mailing lists with a
sizable population of message-signers, I have 466 public keys with 5113
unique signatures.  I haven't experienced any noticeable performance issues
with having them all on one keyring.
