This is due to the ssh server having to generate a session encryption key on startup. If you run ssh as a daemon, it will do this when it first starts up, and periodically regenerates the key in the background. If you run sshd from inetd, the session key must be generated before anything else can happen. On pentium systems, this is slow, and on 486 systems, it's even worse.
