The behaviour that we're seeing is that for each ephemeral file, it takes a
few seconds with wget and many minutes with simplestreams (as called from
maas-import-ephemerals).

I have no idea what's going on, perhaps it's related to the python-requests
bug?

This is trivial to recreate - start up a canonistack instance, install maas,
and run maas-import-pxe-files.

As it stands this is practically unusable.
