I tried. The login speed is not improved, but it get much more quickly when I logout.
Previously, it also sucks for a very long time at logout.

What are the effects of these options? I don't really understand the part of documentation about these.

I also tried to use putty in Linux to login. It also got very fast.
Why does openssh get so slow?

Either I don't understand the hall thing or either it's something weird, but why do you have the Port feature deactivated in your /etc/sshd_config file?

I don't know. I'm just using the default config file given from the installation...

That's not default

By default you will have ssh config file will have this line not commented

Port 22

and not

#Port 22
