Login delay w/ ssh

[Brian LaMere]

X forwarding.  With "ssh -x" I now have a script that used to take 15
minutes to run due to those delays but now takes about 30 seconds.  I don't
know /why/ there was such delay...

Asked here because streamlining logins is quite important for clusters.
That, and the script itself was the control script for our job queue...

Thanks to all who suggested I try "ssh -v" to see that which should have
been obvious anyway, but wasn't.
