These log entries show that you're using password-based authentication.
I believe what is happening is that psql tries to connect, discovers
that it needs a password, and then tries again after it's got a
password. The delay would correspond to the time for you to type
your password (I take it you're a fast typist).
If you don't like the extra log entries, there's a command-line
switch that forces psql to prompt for password before connecting
the first time. Of course, that might result in prompting for
a password that's not really needed.
