In above openssh ObscureKeystroke default to on and that make apps like emacs/xterm very slow to start(take 5-7 secs before window appear) over an remote ssh connection with X11 forwarding. Even kill-line in emacs takes seconds to complete Setting "ObscureKeystrokeTiming no" makes these normal again. I suggest Gentoo makes "ObscureKeystrokeTiming no" default or at least warn somehow about this.
We're not going to disable a security mitigation by default. Have you tried speaking to upstream to see if they have any input on it?

Ir maybe it is just my systems that have some odd tweak somewhere that makes this very slow.

Or maybe they're not aware of the impact on X11 forwarding? Just speak to them? At worst, they say it's an unfortunate but unavoidable side-effect.
