I have 2 openstack clusters running the Folsom release with multiple Swift 
nodes. I also have a small setup that is running only Swift with a single node. 
 I'm noticing very large Swift I/O latencies (seconds long) on the openstack 
clusters - ssbench output snippet is below. Performance is approximately 
identical on the openstack clusters. The Swift only cluster performs much 
better.
Setup differences:
Openstack clusters are using Keystone authentication - Swift only setup uses 
temp auth.
Multiple Swift nodes on openstack clusters - Swift only has single node.

I also see that all object I/Os are being sent to the 2nd Swift node, there are 
no objects on the 1st swift node. Both nodes are running swift-proxy services.
I have LOG_LOCAL0 set in the environment and also logging enabled in 
/etc/swift/swift.conf, but haven't seen any log entries made.

What can I look at to debug the cause of the excessive latencies on both of 
these stacks?
I'd also like to determine why all objects are on the 2nd swift node and none 
on the 1st node.

I'm supposed to do performance evaluations but need to fix the latency problem 
first.
