Hi, The patches I talked about:
1) Iptables speed improvement https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1482 Was reverted due to a licensing issue. 2) Passwd speed improvement https://github.com/MissionCriticalCloudOldRepos/cosmic-core/pull/138 By now, these are rather old patches so they need some work before they apply to CloudStack again.

And also possibly the code that makes the password updating more efficient?
