The ssh connection should be instantaneous. 

The machine is authenticating quickly for other connections, so things 
like reverse dns lookups, arp problems or routing problems etc heave into 
sight, but of course only as possibile candidates for slowing things down. 

Of course it could still be windows, but if the machine works for other 
FreeNX servers then the cache, windows disc corruption etc should show 
themselves elsewhere ( mostly anyway ). 

Generally you are best just following along the normal line of the 
connection, sshd as nx with the keys, loopback sshd as user with password 
is the windows manager installed etc
