I've also seen kerberos make logins slow -- for example, if you have a ticket but it's expired or not valid for the server in question -- but that's typically not enabled by default.

It would be useful to see a verbose connection log, with a notation of where the delay occurs. Just add "-vvv" to your normal connection options and it should show you exactly what you're waiting for.
