[openstack-dev] Quantum Performance

Are you running quantum-server in a VM?  What type of resources have you
given the host running quantum-server in terms of memory and cpus?  If you
run top while this is happening, what processes are consuming CPU?

While most of my quantum scale experience is with Essex, some basic testing
on my dev setup with trunk don't show a similar drop-off.  At several
hundred net/subnet pairs, mysqld does not seem to be consuming any more CPU
than at small numbers, at least in my tests.  I'm very willing to believe
that there are significant DB optimizations that we can make with Quantum,
I'd just be very surprised to see them required at such tiny scales.
