Lack of entropy is what causes super slow login. I creates some
tokens on
login that use up entropy. However once you have logged in it re-uses
the
token and the entropy should not be an issue after that for the most
part.
He didn't actually say but I suspect that after the initial minutes
wait for
the login, it was not THAT bad after that. Not like what we are
seeing with
your system.

For me once I was on the admin login page things went much faster.
Now
that I have haveged on the Engine VM the change from the welcome page
to the admin login page is almost instantaneous.
