see that particular slowdown? (Not the backdoor initialization making sshd take longer to start up---a running sshd taking longer to reject a session for a nonexistent account, unless Andres Freund forgot to tell us that he was running sshd from inetd and thereby including sshd startup latency in his measurements.)
Recent OpenSSH always re-execs for each incoming connection (for fresh ASLR) so it's always similar to inetd startup.
