Maybe another way would be (I really don't know if it is possible, just 
a simple idea) to get the decrypted data from the cache. So maybe 
implementing the possibility to reuse already dectryted mime parts like 
diskussed in thread "pgp-encrypted emails blowing up session" would help 
here, too.

So that would be a nice synergy effect.... :-)
