ObscureKeystokeTiming turned out to be the cause, or so it seemed after reading the ssh_config reference. Setting this option to 'no' whereever ssh is used in the .fvwmrc configuration file got rid of the response time problem. I remember looking at plus74.html some time before formal release. If ObscureKeystrokeTiming had caught my eye I think I would not have associated it with the possibility of a large increase in response time. The line in plus74.html immediately before the one about ObscureKeystokeTiming states 'Limit artificial login delay ...'. That change looks a more likely cause than 'ObscureKeystokeTiming' measures.
