It's common if you don't have reverse DNS setup on your client in this
case: there's a lookup of the IP address the connection comes from, and
that takes time to time-out if the IP address is not registered. You can
run the SSH daemon with the "-u0" option to prevent this.
Also, if the machine is slow, it will take some time to generate the
public-key based exchanges where the machines talk back and forth and
verify that the server has the right *private* key to match the public key.

Good guess, but wrong. OpenSSH has incorporated both protocol 1 and
protocol 2 into the same binary and source code distribution for quite
some time. It's only the old ssh.com code (which is of lesser quality,
in my opinion) that splits them off.
p2 is just a slightly newer version: I wasn't aware one had been published.
