err. Maybe it's me but to answer his original question - it's more
than likely a DNS lookup issue.
Have a look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add in:
UseDNS no
restart the sshd daemon with a kill -HUP command and you should have
no problems.
Alternatively, you could fix your dns lookup issues..

Thanks!!
Not necessarily - but how about a rule like:
pass out on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to $my_nameserver \
port 53 keep state
