   Since a previous post claims it's due to compression, I'll assume the
   original poster is not running VMS X11 clients on a VAX 2000.

   You want to see slow? Try logging in via SSH to an older VAX. It
   takes quite a while to initiate the connection. From log files I've
   read I think it's generating some randomized encryption info.
