"roughly" combined with 4 significant digits sounds a bit odd ...

What I do is "time ssh <remote-host> true", so I don't wait for
the remote shell prompt to come up, but just to execute one (small,
output-less) remote program, and exit immediately. I also use
publickey authentication so don't have to enter a password. Should
be a second or two shorter than your method, which would make the
180MHz Hyper and the 75MHz Super-II almost on par. Which I still
find a bit disappointing for the Ross. It may be significantly
faster on many other tasks, of course.
