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.
