One of the intermittent attempts of implementing this enhancement was to 
also get the handle to the private key (CryptGetUserKey), using the 
silently acquired provider.
And only if *that* succeeded, we treated the probe successful and tried 
to re-acquire the key normally.

However, that approach really introduced a significant slowdown 
(approximately x2 times).

On the other hand, with the proposed variant, the slowdown isn't 
noticeable by eye, but it surely will be worthwhile to do some benchmarking.

With kind regards,
Ivan
