Since a server is restarted through inetd every time you request an SSH connection,
the server key has to be re-crunched every time. On a slow system, this can be
processor intensive (one of my machines takes about 15 seconds while the faster ones
take 2). If the lag is too much, start sshd as a daemon always running and comment it
out of inetd.
