I haven't tried it but I agree --- sshd is a daemon that is spawned by launchd whenever an incoming connection is made, and it reads the configuration each time. It would certainly be in line with my other experiences with sshd configuration.

Contrast Apache, where an httpd process stays alive to accept and delegate incoming connections.
