[CentOS] how to debug ssh slow connection issues.

When sshd looks to be the culprit, my troubleshooting begins by 
launching it in foreground mode on a non-standard port on the server:

   sshd -ddd -p 2222

On the client, do

   ssh -p 2222 your.server

If that doesn't provide good info, wrap sshd in strace:

   strace -o /tmp/sshd-trace.txt sshd -d -p 2222

The strace output will show where the delays are occuring. (You can 
modify timestamp info in the strace output. See the man page for 
details.)
