[Openstack] [SWIFT] PUTs and GETs getting slower

Hi,
     I suffer the same issue that our swift system gets slower and 
slower. I tried almost all the guide in the document but it does little 
help.

     Maybe swift is not suitable to the circumstance of putting and 
getting many little files. Maybe is it more suitable to the large object 
such as the image of OS? I am not quite sure.

Best Regards
Jonathan Lu
