I tried to add an ElGamal subkey to my GPG key. Seahorse and GPG started using 100% of CPU (split half and half) and after an hour or two Seahorse's process memory had grown so much that I had to kill it before it brought down my X session. I repeated the operation with a smaller key (1024) and the same thing happened. I finally decided to use gpg --edit-key // addsubkey and it only took a couple seconds to have the key generated.

In case it matters, the expiration was set to next year.

GPG is 1.4.6.
