Bug Description

As seen by the large-ops test nova-network has trouble booting 150 VMs concurrently. Part of the problem is that setting up the network for each instance is relatively expensive with many locks and root-wrapped calls. Both of which significantly hurt performance. One possible fix would be to do more bulk network operations when possible, so instead of 100 separate calls to a root-wrapped tool call it once.

Setting this to a low priority because workarounds exist (run more nova-networks) and because nova-network is frozen.

Replace the word nova-network with neutron and this bug is also valid for neutron, although once again it is a fairly low priority.

This has been fixed by some of the work to move nova-net to objects.
