+1 I think we in the #openstack-performance channel really need to 
investigate this, because it really worries me personally from hearing 
many many rumors about how the remote conductor falls over. Please join 
there and we can try to work through a plan to figure out what to do 
about this situation. It would be great if the nova people also joined 
there (because in the end, likely something in nova will need to be 
fixed/changed/something else to resolve what appears to be a problem for 
many operators).
