I also get a nice speedup: results below.

I wondered why, given that, I still seemed to be getting substitutes primarily from https://ci.guix.gnu.org, until someone just mentioned on IRC (<https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2022-07-31.log#110447>) that:

I checked, and it was indeed missing! Somehow I thought it was updated automatically when it was added to `%default-authorized-guix-keys`. Not only was this true on the foreign system where I installed manually about a year ago, the key also was missing on a machine where I more recently installed using the Debian (well, Kubuntu 22.04) package.

Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else was as confused as I was.
