How many compute nodes do you want to manage ?

If it less than ~1000, you do not need to care.
If you have more, just use SSD with good write IOPS value.

Mysql actually can be fast with enough memory and good SSD. 
Even faster than [1].

zk as technology is good, the current nova driver is not. Not recommended.
The current mc driver does lot of tcp ping-pong for every node, 
it can be slower than the SQL.

IMHO At high compute node count you would face with scheduler latency issues
sooner than sg driver issues. (It is not Log(N) :()

The sg drivers was introduced to eliminate 100 Update/sec at 1000 Host,
but it caused all service is being fetched from the DB even if at the given code
part you just need to alive services.
