So we had a slightly different case, where the Glance servers were
actually in the same rack as the hypervisors, so for you had the
option to avoid inter cell traffic for lots of the image downloads.

Another gain was not needed an expensive loadbalancer in front of
glance, looping around the API list spread the load enough (although a
loadbalancer doing a 302 redirect rather than being in the data path
worked rather well, although I think glanceclient wan't too keen
following the redirects on upload).
