AFAIK this verification is only done in --with-colons mode because in
this mode the trust level is calculated and shown.

Actually --list-keys doesn't seem to be any faster in --fast-list-mode.
Here's a small test:
- --------
ingo@erwin:~ > time for a in `seq 1 10`; do gpg --list-keys >/dev/null;
done
real 0m12.115s
user 0m11.430s
sys 0m0.190s
ingo@erwin:~ > time for a in `seq 1 10`; do gpg --list-keys
- --fast-list-mode >/dev/null; done
real 0m12.076s
user 0m11.400s
sys 0m0.180s
ingo@erwin:~ > time for a in `seq 1 10`; do gpg --list-keys
- --with-colons >/dev/null; done
real 0m27.226s
user 0m15.770s
sys 0m9.800s
ingo@erwin:~ > time for a in `seq 1 10`; do gpg --list-keys
- --with-colons --fast-list-mode >/dev/null; done
real 0m11.948s
user 0m11.430s
sys 0m0.120s
- ---------
As you can see the --fast-list-mode option makes no difference for a
simple --list-keys. Only if you also use the --with-colons option you
can save a lot of time by using --fast-list-mode.
