Smartcards are quite slow when processing rsa4096. This can be problematic when using authentication subkeys for batch processing, e.g. via ansible, chef etc. Since authentication keys need not remain secure in the long term (unlike encryption keys), rsa4096 for auth is overkill. We should consider reducing this to rsa2048.
