Fred ,
try using ssh -v -v -v . This will enable the highest level of debugging 
and will help you find what is making ssh slow...  If the machine on the 
other end is very loaded , it will take a lot of time to accept a 
connection... So , as soon as you login on the other machine , see its 
load using uptime.. if it's above 1, then this explains a bit.. if it's 
above 3 , then load really is the issue...
