Thanks for sharing these results Corne, looks great.

I've added the [nova] tag to the subject line to sub-thread this just 
for awareness to nova developers. Section 8 should be interesting for 
nova developers to see how simple client-side optimizations can be done 
to improve performance when working with the compute API. The 
particularly interesting one to me is the regression fix to not use 
limit=-1 in novaclient when listing servers but specify a hard limit to 
avoid extra API calls to list servers.

Personally I enjoyed this little short-term side project working with 
the Watcher team on improving the performance of Watcher's nova data 
model builder code. Thanks to the Watcher team for welcoming my 
contributions.
