Typically when there's an SSH password delay issue in authentication
it has to do with the name resolution.  Check your /etc/resolv.conf --
it may be your name servers that are responding slowly or if the hosts
do not reverse, that may be it as well.   Anyway, just a hunch, I've
had that happen to me before.
