Hi,
Is the problem you are seeing with the Quantum service or the agents? 
Off the bat I would say that it is with the Quantum service. Are the 
calls done in parallel or are they done sequentially?

There are a number of things that we should do to isolate this:
1. Check the internal logic of the network creation. Basically there are 
3 stages:
      i. provider network treatment
     ii network create
     iii. l3 notification
It would be interesting to see who eats the most time.
2. Need to profile database access

Thanks
Gary
