Hi,
we have recentily upgraded the swift cluster hosting images for wikimedia
from folsom to icehouse and it has been very smooth! thank you!

After the upgrade we have noticed a substantial increase in the bandwidth
used by backends, in particular it seems to line up with the upgrade of
frontends to icehouse (which happened last).
You can see the effect I'm talking about here together with the upgrade
timeline: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Swift/Icehouse#post-upgrade

It seems to coincide with an increase in CPU on the backends too:

I was wondering what has changed that could cause that increase and if it
is expected, also what would be a good way to graph replication bandwidth
vs "serving" bandwidth? that'd be useful too I think.

thanks in advance!
