SSH is slower to connect to RHEL6 systems as compared to RHEL5 systems
Issue
SSH connections to RHEL 6 systems are slower than when connecting to RHEL 5 systems. Typically SSHing to a RHEL 5 system will take between 0.1-0.15 seconds whereas to a RHEL 6 system is between 0.3-0.5 seconds. This is affecting some housekeeping tasks as some of the tasks perform many SSH connections.
