+AES-NI acceleration will be used by default providing you're using
+the new modularized GnuPG (v2.x) and libgcrypt ≥ 1.5.0. Of course it
+only speeds up AES encryption, while GnuPG uses CAST by default; you can
+either set `personal-cipher-preferences` to AES or AES256 in your
+`gpg.conf` or, as joeyh hinted at, set `remote.<name>.annex-gnupg-options`
+as described in the manpage.
+
+By the way, I observed a significant speed up when using `--compress-algo none`.
+Image, music and video files are typically hard to compress further, and it seems
+that's where gpg spent most of its time, at least on the few files I benchmarked.
