Is it reverse name lookups on your thin-client IP address?
Is the delay there if you do a:
host myserver
from a shell (ALT-CTL-F2)?
Is the delay there only if you do "ssh myserver"?
If that is the case, perhaps the sshd on myserver is doing a
reverselookup of your thin-client IP address and timing out.
