That helped -- using tempauth instead of keystone improved performance 
significantly on the openStack cluster.
However performance is still slower compared to my Swift only setup where 
commands are sent directly to the swift node instead of going thru the 
controller node in the openstack  cluster.
How does controller and swift node communications affect swift performance?
I've also noticed that all objects are stored on the 2nd swift node and not the 
1st on the openstack cluster. I'm wondering if that could also be a factor in 
slow performance.

 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.

Keystone performance can be pretty awful unless you are using something else 
than the default WSGI container configuration (single process eventlet I 
think). I would suggest you try to run it under apache with multiple process.

See the dicussion at last summit about Keystone performance here :
