My understanding is that the private keyring file contains the result of
encrypting your private key with a hash of the passphrase, so cracking
the private key is basically a question of cracking the passphrase.
How good is your passphrase?
You might want to ask this question in the comp.security.pgp.discuss
newsgroup.
