Public bug reported:

'byobu true' on openstack instance takes 7 seconds or more.
This is really because of bug 851159.

However, anything that byobu does that is blocking start up time (as
opposed to status-refresh/update time) that could potentially take a
long time should really be backgrounded.

$ grep -r 169.254.169.254 /usr/lib/byobu/ -l
/usr/lib/byobu/hostname
/usr/lib/byobu/include/shutil
/usr/lib/byobu/ip_address
/usr/lib/byobu/ec2_cost

$ time wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname
server-3002.novalocal
real    0m1.422s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s


Note, that it is not at all far-fetched that 169.254.169.254 could be 
firewalled off completely in a security consious environment.  That would 
result in an indefinite hang on byobu startup.
