How fast is the CPU?  The default key length changed to 2048 bits in 4.1 or
4.2.  Can you generate 1024-bit host keys manually, and if so how long does it
take?  eg

# ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa1 -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key -N ""
# ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ""
# ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t dsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""

If you have 2 similar machines, how does "openssl speed rsa" on the two
compare?  And did OpenSSL's self-test "make tests" pass?

The other instance of "it takes forever to generate a key" I've seen were
problems with certain old steppings of <= 300 MHz UltraSPARCs.  Some were fine,
some took many hours, so it's possible it's something specific to the problem
machine.

What OS is this running, BTW?
