Comment 4 for bug 1097015

Unfortunately this environment is as small as it can be; there are no disconnected clumps of unrelated services.

We've worked around it in a couple ways. We're learning to limit scope where we can, and we've added a wrapper so that a bare "juju status" will read from a cached copy if it's considered recent enough.

FWIW, we've deployed more subordinates since the original report and the run time is now up to around 6 minutes.
