Are you sure you actually want to _kill_ ("cut" in modern parlance) those
lines? In the file you attach, all 10000 lines match "ssh", so it means
that Emacs "cuts" each of those lines one by one, which of course takes
(quite) some time. If you use a regexp that does not match all lines, say
"109.106.244.80", the effect is almost instantaneous.
Note that there is also a command "flush-lines", is that not the one you
actually need here?
