cool cool. we'll work against that. i want to point out we added a caching mechanism in Juno which i hope helps with the Nova issue -- basically we cache some of the secondary calls we make when gathering information.

cheers,

> We've noticed the load on the Nova and Keystone APIs. It may well be that there is an increased load on the hypervisor but this is distributed and thus we might not have seen it. The API impact was significant.... a factor of 14x increase in API call rate (http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.de/2014/03/cern-cloud-architecture-update-for.html)
