Thanks!

On Debian, that dir seems to be called ~/.gnupg/crls.d/

Tried opening one of these messages again: and yesterday gave it more
than 30 minutes before I gave up.  ~/.gnupg/crls.d/ now contains a file
(very-long-number.db).

I go to the next s/mime message, and get that question about ultimate
trust again. I say no, and Gnus displays the message with a (valid)
signature, that is unverified (by me). I did not catch the exact output,
sorry.

This happens only once. The next message, from the same sender, this
waiting (verifying) starts again. Even though now there is a file in
~/.gnupg/crls.d/ ?

Is there a way in which I can disable this checking altogether?
Additionally: if no gpgsm is available on the host, perhaps the result
should or could be made similar to what it does in Emacs24, simply
display the message without verification?
