Before I had an always on connection, I used to poll the servers
manually to collect keys. It often took that long for the servers to
respond. A lot depends on how the query is performed. For example, a
search for a particular key ID is usually quicker than a search for a
person's name. Even so, a key ID search can /still/ take forever (or
so it seems at the time) to complete.

Since CM (or Mutt in your case) is unusable during the search, I'm not
surprised you hit Ctrl-C.
