Not sure if this would be the cause of your delay or not, but in some
cases sshd will pause during an initial connection if it can't perform a
reverse DNS lookup on the connecting IP. You can disable this and the
pause will go away (if it's the cause).

See http://forum.ivorde.ro/ssh-disable-dns-reverse-lookups-t71.html for
more information.
