 Hhm. A while ago, I went back from ssh-1.2.27 to openssh and openssl,
 and the major delays I reported to teck-pkg (I think) ages ago are gone.
 No special compiler options, 68040/28MHz. Starting up sshd takes a few
 seconds, at max. Upgrading pkgsrc from openssl 0.9.5 (or earlier) to
 0.9.5a seems to have done a lot.
