[FreeNX-kNX] why is initial authentication/connecting so slow?

No, I don't use xinetd nor long keys, everything is pretty normal.
As I said, when I normally ssh from machine 1 to machine 2, it takes me 
2-3 seconds to fully log in (and get a command prompt), and it doesn't 
matter if I use keys or passwords.

If I "log in" using NX from machine 1 to machine 2, this whole 
authentication part takes much much longer, more than 30-40 seconds usually.

For me "authentication completed takes about 20 seconds.

No, I don't have any anti-virus programs etc. stuff.

If you need any details (config files, log files, kernel, program 
versions), let me know.
