When you're scratching your head about what is happening on the wire, tcpdump 
is always a good place to start.  Run it in another command prompt and try 
the bad connect, see what packets are going where.

DNS problems are a popular cause of long network delays.

If nothing shows in tcpdump, try the connect again with ssh -v -v -v and see 
what the last happenings are before the delay.

Check your logs on the server side (/var/log/messages I guess).
