OK, I figured out why the problem was occurring; port 22 was getting hammered with over 1000 connections a second (i forgot to check pfstat, auth.log and tcpdump which gave me glaring indications of a flood). I've decided to change the sshd listen port to something other than 22 and wait til my attacker finds it out.
