ssh-keygen is very slow

This issue can be negated by using ssh-keygen -b 1024 which takes about 1.5s to run.

Note this weakens security slightly, although the risk here is very debatable.

Yeah, things tend to be pretty slow. Fixing that isn't as high priority as making things work at all, of course.

I just did the same without any issues.

I decided to wait for a while and see what happened. 2048 keys take 2-3 minutes, and 4096 bit keys take 5-6 minutes (vs. instantaneous on Mac). So it does eventually work but the amount of time it takes might be a side effect of the emulation.
