Just a reality check.

I'm using the Public/Private DSA key authentication for SSH on a 233MHz Pentium
box (128MB RAM) running NetBSD 1.5.2. When I execute ssh <machine>, or slogin <machine>,
it takes about 10 seconds for my NetBSD box to repsond.

I just assuming it's taking this long to process the 128-bit encryption.
However, I'm running Suse Linux on a 433MHz PII box, and it responds almost
instantly.

Is there a problem here?
