Bug Description
About a month ago we began seeing frequent time-outs when Launchpad attempted to make an XMLRPC connection to the Salesforce proxy running on niobium. An example failure is at OOPS-1557M2198 .
This problem is affecting our paying customers at the point they have just given us money and thus sours the experience from the outset. It also affects our OEM internal customers such as Joey who cannot complete his tasks efficiently.
We understand this proxy is slated to be replaced but we need to find the cause of the time-outs and create a fix in the interim.
Please consider the filing of this bug as an escalation of the problem. It is occurring with increasing frequency and is having a larger impact than when first reported.

I think the process gets hung after an applying a voucher for the first time:
1. I applyed a voucher for project A and the response was quick.
2. I saw gateway timeout trying to apply the voucher for project B a minute later
3. After 15 minutes of tries I gave up.
4. I tried to apply the voucher 3 hours later ang got a gateway timeout.
5. I asked an admin to restart the sfi-production process
6. The voucher was applied in a second.
