I have slow sparcs, too.  And I'm not sure when the last time I checked 
was, but I'm pretty sure the problem isn't v2, it's DSA.  Try turning off 
- waitaminute.  I was positive there was an option to select which key 
method to use (DSA/RSA/both) somewhere, but now I can't find it in either 
ssh_config(5) or sshd_config(5)...
