Try that out, please? You may (?) find it much faster than your
home-rolled. Whether it's fast enough... you would have to decide.

I did. Twice. Ended up with two QP0ZSPWP jobs taking up the whole CPU, one of them for at least half an hour, with no result returned.

As I said, I'm better off not automatically propagating the keys in question at all, and forcing the administrator to install them manually.

But thanks, all, for your suggestions.
