Open Stack

Hi *,

we're running Openstack on top of Leap 42.1. Since switching to  
Mitaka, we're experiencing severe delays when accessing the dashboard  
- i.e. switching between "Compute - Overview" and "Compute -  
Instances" takes 15+ seconds, even after multiple invocations.

I've had a look at the requests, the Apache logs and our control  
node's stats and noticed that it's a single call that's taking all the  
time... I see no indications of any error, it seems that once WSGI is  
invoked, that call simply takes its time. Intermediate curl requests  
are logged, so I see it's doing its work. Looking at "vmstat" I can  
see that it's user space taking all the load (Apache / mod_wsgi drives  
its CPU to 100%, while other CPUs are idle - and no i/o wait, no  
system space etc.).

Current test, switching to "Overview" took 13.09 secs loading  
http://control1/project/. Switching back to "Instances" took 14.7 secs  
for http://control1/project/instances/. Ain't no fun using the  
dashboard that way... and we did not see this with previous releases.

Do others see the same slowness or is it likely some (system or  
Openstack) configuration issue on our side?

Just for reference, we're running the following version of Horizon:
