OK. If you do a time ping -c1 <IP> from a VM to the metadata IP, what 
kind of times do you see in each setup?

OK.

I recommend switching to the memcache Token driver in Keystone.

OK.

OK, good to know, but unlikely to be the cause of a metadata API query 
slowdown.

OK.

Interesting, so Keystone is actually faster in Grizzly than in Essex... 
or at least it seems to be given the above rudimentary timing.

OK.

Could be a number of things. I thought Vish had redesigned the metadata 
API endpoint in Folsom and removed the problematic slow queries that 
used to be in there. If you check your MySQL slow log (hopefully you 
have it enabled), look to see if any of the queries in there reference 
the instance_metadata table.

Looks to me that both 2nd time calls were reduced...in Essex as well as 
Grizzly zones.
