What is this file? It's not documented in sshd(8)--nor OpenBSD's
man pages in general.
Anyway, I did, and the situation improved. From "ssh -v" I gather
that whatever this Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange exchanges is down
from 2048 to 1024 bits, resulting in a connection setup time of
25+ seconds. (Still a pain for practical use, of course. Protocol 1
takes about five seconds.)
