I've been seeing it for quite a while actually, and couldn't tell you specifically when it showed up. It appears to be only related to the actual connection (in ssh), as everything else zips right along. I also see it in http... google can take up to 10 seconds to appear. I"ve largely been trying to ignore it as I haven't really had time to figure out what it is. Also, I *don't* see this problem on a lenny machine on the same subnet, and really interestingly, I *don't* see this problem on my laptop which is running slightly more sid-ish than the squeeze machine that shows the problem.
