You can have encryption by-default selected via the prefs file.  Could you
explain more about the recipient match pgp4pine does?

Yes, this can be a problem.  The slowness is mainly due to
GnuPG::Interface, the Perl module to access GnuPG behind pgpenvelope.  I
highly recommend using the procmail filter described in the manpage to
pre-process signed messages.
