I've had this problem as well.  I've added "UseDNS no" to the
sshd_config file and that had the same result.  I usually only had high
latency establishing the connection though.  Once the connection was
established and I was logged in, everything was fast again.

I've also had connection issues while transferring files through ssh,
and I got around that (somewhat) by added "-l" to the scp command.  This
tries to throttle the connection speed, and I can usually keep a
connection going with that.  I say that is somewhat fixed the issue
because I also need to use ssh to port forward to an internal database
and run scripts there, but there's no way that I know to do the same
throttling with a port forwarding ssh command.
