159 is horrible to be honest, that is most likely the cause of your problems. Anything below around 300 is bad.
Alex,
I checked that on my engines, and the entropy is around 120. But those are NOT hosted.
Can you confirm this lack of entropy enduces no slowness on dedicated engines?
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.
