I'm dubious about this contention about ssh.

windlord:~> time sh -c 'for i in $(seq 1 1000) ; do ssh debuild-i386 true ; done'
10.764u 3.332s 1:52.78 12.4%    0+0k 896+8io 0pf+0w

That's with Kerberos authentication.

I think you have something misconfigured with ssh or with your DNS
(Kerberos is very sensitive to DNS issues).
