Hi Todd!
make sure your DNS works properly this usually happens when reverse lookups are broken in my experience, that is most likely the cause, there is a setting you can disable if you will not have a good working DNS in your environment, I believe it is the GSSAPI options, if you google search with " slow ssh logins GSSAPI options" not in quotes you should see some hits. But, having a good DNS is the best answer.
You know what you're saying. Great! That was the answer. THANKS. Is it a security risk? I uncommented this options in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: # GSSAPI options GSSAPIAuthentication no GSSAPICleanupCredentials yes (what I don't understand: I read that every option in config which is commented points to the default. Now I just uncommenting it, not changing the value, does the trick. weird...
