Hello,

I have a working cloud-config but it is taking a lot of time to execute. Sometimes a simple execution of apt-get install <package> is taking 7-8 minutes even when I am installing it from a local repository server on LAN. The problem is not with fetching the files, but during installation it takes a long time.

Environment details: 1) Openstack: Newton with neutron 2) Both Compute hosts have 96 GB RAM 3) Network is 1Gbps supported.

Sample cloud-config goes like this:

#cloud-config                                                
chpasswd:                                                    
  list: |                                                    
    root:passwd                                              
  expire: False                                              
apt_upgrade: false                                           
runcmd:                                                      
# Post Installation Commands                                 
- export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive                      
- apt-get update                                             
- apt-get install -y --force-yes --allow-unauthenticated gcc

Also I have checked during the execution, both CPU and RAM are show nothing terribly wrong. CPU just shows 40% occupancy and RAM consumption is less than 30%

Has anyone faced similar issue? What is the solution for this?
