panda.zhmail.com, it's a machine on the same LAN as thinkpad. I run dnscache on thinkpad, and the TTL of panda.zhmail.com is 2 days, and I put "172.16.10.32 thinkpad" in panda:/etc/hosts, so the delay was not caused by DNS resolving. Considering that the delay occured as ssh printed out the following warning message:

it must have been introduced by the "GSSAPIAuthentication yes" parameter in ssh_config. Since average users don't use Kerberos, I think the parameter should defaults to "no".
