Hi! I am using PuTTY to log into my local server, but it takes about 1.5 seconds to log in (from the click on 'Connect' to working command prompt, most of time is spend on "Authenticating with public key...").
I know many see even slower speeds, but I would like to have not more than 0.1 sec. login time.
I already set UseDNS=no
, allowed only IPv4 in the PuTTY client, and reduced key length from 4k down to 1k.
Any other suggestions to speed it up even further?
