Open Stack

Sad, especially since so much is using the database :-(

I don't have the hard numbers to compare Eventlet to Apache HTTPD, but I do know that Apache is used in enough high volume sites that I would not be overly concerned. The traffic in an Openstack deployment to a Keystone server is going to be about two orders of magnitude less than any other traffic, and is highly unlikely to be the bottleneck.

Any request that hits multiple services will hit keystone multiple times.  Without caching, keystone is by far the busiest service in an openstack install. Caching should fix some of this, but I don't know that I would expect it to be two orders of magnitude less.

Seeing as the SQL Alchemy code is blocking on each request,  I suspect
that performance is now soundly *not* a reason to want to stick with
eventlet.  My statement  that Eventlet is performant is based on the
assumption that the benefits of using Greenthreads are realized.  It
looks like that is not the case.
