Both 9s and 53s are appalling performance for getting an instance's 
info. Something is definitely amiss.

To determine the cause of the slowdown, first try to eliminate various 
potential components. You say it's the EC2 API that is slow. If you run 
a normal `nova list` (which will go through the OpenStack API, not the 
EC2 API), what is the difference in performance? If you see the same 9s 
vs. 53s performance, it's definitely not the EC2 API that is at fault.
