Are you able to run something like netperf or iperf between your client 
and the swift proxy?  For example:

netperf -H <proxy>    # get a feel for "to swift" basic network perf
netperf -H <proxy> -t TCP_MAERTS # get a feel for "from swift"

The idea there is to measure the network separate from the storage and 
swift processing, and go from there.

If there isn't much else happening on your setup at the time, you could 
also look at some snapshots of netstat -s on the proxy when you are 
downloading the object - look to see if there are many TCP 
retransmissions.  You can get something similar "directly" for the 
netperf tests with:

netperf -H <proxy> -- -o 
throughput,local_transport_retrans,remote_transport_retrans

netperf -H <proxy> -t TCP_MAERTS -- -o 
throughput,local_transport_retrans,remote_transport_retrans
