This puzzles me; what ssh client are you using? Sounds like some gui.
What happens is you use a different client?

Can you look at the "verbose" output of your ssh client? eg. if
unix/linux command line, then something like

ssh -v username@machine

Are other authentications being tried? Are both the client and the
server using ssh 1/2? These are both things that can slow down the
process.

What happens if you're on the server and do the following?

ssh -v localhost
