FYI, some folks have done some performance testing of Glance with
Swift backends. It was determined that using SSL caused a dramatic
performance degradation (roughly decreased the network I/O throughput
by half, with a queuing behvaiour showing up on GET requests as well.)
The solution was to disable zlib compression in SSL on the Glance API
server box.
There aren't a whole lot of easy ways to do this in OpenSSL 0.9.8, but
you may find the discussion in this article interesting:
