Hello, and welcome!

Slow initial login via SSH is a very common issue, so common it is described in the OpenBSD FAQ, section 8.22: Reverse DNS, or Why is it taking so long for me to log in?

While there is no guarantee that your DNS configuration is the problem... it is a 99%+ probability.

See if the /etc/hosts recommendation in the FAQ resolves the problem for you.
