Sorry for the confusion.
As I said I get quick response for the password and then that line 
showing the "Last Login: ..." stuff.
At this point I suppose that connection to the sshd has been established.
So I go with your suspicion about the profile or login files of the shell.
The thing that puzzles me ist that I do it from localhost to localhost 
and opening a cygwin terminal with bash on localhost takes less than 2 
seconds.
 From my understanding the login/profile stuff should be almost the same.
One thing that comes to my mind is that there may be something with my 
domain credentials.
The password I need to supply is my windows domain login password, so I 
think I am logged in as the domain user.
But if there is something wrong with the credentials it could be that 
during the login process there are attempts to access network shares 
which possibly fail and give timeouts.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction so I am going to put some set 
-x into the login scripts to see if I can find the reason.
