speculative key ids can be useful in the context of a mailing list

can prevent people from finding out who all of the subscribers are via
the interception of a single message -- yes, it would be possible to
generate a message per person, but as you have mentioned, performance
will suffer.
Do you have some quantification of the performance hit? I'm not sure it
is such a big deal to send an individual message to each list member --
note that some popular list managment packages will put the address you
are subscribed from at the bottom of a message, which means, I believe,
that they are sending a different message to each list member.
