Up to now, I have been using putty + pageant 0.66 to ssh from my Win 10 client to a couple of Linux servers, as in
Comp A Comp B Comp C
Win 10, Msys2 -----------> Ubuntu 18.04 -----------> RHEL6

As described here, I was getting a warning about using SHA-1 when connecting A to B.
To fix this, I started using putty + pageant 0.73. Now each ssh authentication from A to B takes about 27s. Before, it was immediate. This is usually not a serious issue. But once in a while it may become a significant inconvenience.
When authenticating from A to C, connection is still immediate.
I wonder whether this is expected, and if it can be mended some way.
