pool.sks-keyservers.net is a DNS round robin, so you end up on some server
you cannot tell where it is and how quick it responds. Depending on the query
sting, answers may take a while, but sometimes servers don't answer as quick
as they should. You may retry (yielding a DNS A record of another server) or
explicitely select a server you trust hoping for constant search performance.
The list of selectabel servers may be edited in OpenPGP preferences (Advanced
Settings -> Keyserver).
