Github user sudhansu7 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/897#issuecomment-152273822 @remibergsma @runseb I have below performance analysis, which I did some time back. I trying to find out the dbdump to do a real test. But below analysis will may help to understand the issue and the solution. Clicking 'Network' tab invokes 3 api as mentioned below. http://localhost:8080/client/api?command=listZones&response=json&sessionkey=1ddeSxQjc604bdnHJegYqkM6EgA%3D&networktype=Advanced&_=1436356355027 -- 371ms this is to enable vpc, vpnCustomerGateway menu option. http://localhost:8080/client/api?command=listNetworks&response=json&sessionkey=1ddeSxQjc604bdnHJegYqkM6EgA%3D&supportedServices=SecurityGroup&listAll=true&details=min&_=1436356355424 -- 18.97s this is to enable securityGroups menu option. http://localhost:8080/client/api?command=listNetworks&response=json&sessionkey=1ddeSxQjc604bdnHJegYqkM6EgA%3D&listAll=true&page=1&pagesize=20&_=1436356374437 -- 1.54s to list networks Second API call is taking 90% of the total response time.This api fetches all networks and interates over each network and for each network it makes an db call to fetch the services associated with the network. This is an expensive operation. Solution:  We can fetch listZones of type basic, if present then we can enable securityGroups menu option. For advanced zone with securitygroup service we can reuse first api call and can check "securitygroupsenabled" attribute in response. If present we will enable securityGroups menu option. http://localhost:8080/client/api?command=listZones&response=json&sessionkey=JwxpVL74Wk6ZS7MvzSw0u6%2FA9eU%3D&networktype=Advanced&_=1436357831259 --256ms http://localhost:8080/client/api?command=listZones&response=json&sessionkey=JwxpVL74Wk6ZS7MvzSw0u6%2FA9eU%3D&networktype=Basic&_=1436357831901 --11ms http://localhost:8080/client/api?command=listNetworks&response=json&sessionkey=JwxpVL74Wk6ZS7MvzSw0u6%2FA9eU%3D&listAll=true&page=1&pagesize=20&_=1436357831968 --868s total : 1.19s
