All login attempts or ssh login attempts (local or otherwise) ?
You didn't accidentally install the winbind stuff did you when you were installing Samba ? That may have messed with PAM so it is now looking for a Domain that doesn't exist or something ?

if 'UseDNS no' in your sshd config speeds things up then this is the problem. Although the cause is that your DNS setup is broken.
