It is not intended that it significantly slow the login.  But it is
intended that the motd always be up to date when shown to the user at
login.  So calling pam_motd.so only with 'noupdate' is certainly not the
expected behavior.

The current design of update-motd is that each of the individual scripts
installed in /etc/update-motd.d are expected to ensure that they have a
reasonable up-to-date local cache of their information in the common
case which is updated out of band, such that the motd updating only has
to run a short sequence of shell scripts to concatenate information into
the motd file.  If you have an /etc/update-motd.d script that is not
behaving this way, please help us identify which it is so that we can
resolve this.

I don't think there is actually a bug in the contents of
/etc/pam.d/sshd.
