[Openstack] Glance performance v1 vs v2

Hi,

I have done some tests [0] to try to figure out what's perf problem
there. As comparing, I did it by two separated cases a) sending
request by glanceclient cli normally, just like what you did before.
b) to around the glanceclient cli to send those equal api calls to
glance server directly. The results as below [1][2].

>From the result of my test, it seems we have more overhead in v2
handling stuff on glanceclient side but service side, IMO.

In the result [1], you can see glanceclient handles v1 requests is
faster then v2 stuff, 0m6.958s .vs. 0m9.624s (user's real time), this
is close to your result, but as the comparing, from [2] you can see v2
api handling on service side is not bad than v1, even ~2 times faster,
0m6.189s .vs. 0m3.446s, and based on the api spec requirement, v2
needs send two more requests for the schema validation of image and
member resource.

It will be great if you can try this on your env as a
verification/double-check for my test result, and I'd like to know
more test details of your result if follow comparison test needed.

Next step I will look into glanceclient.

* I did it in my local dev env, it's not devstack but a setup based on
master sroucecode manually (all services).
* I prepared 1000 images for the test which under queue status. (so
there's no data)
* I didn't test v2 with registry yet.
