For the second question, Swift doesn't use updatedb.mlocate in my mind. it should be safe to disable it. Based on the TOP output, it seems that the CPU workload of container replicator and auditor are too high. Perhaps you need to tune the config file to decrease their workload. paste your config file of container servers.

[Openstack] [SWIFT] PUTs and GETs
getting slower
Hi,
my Swift cluster is working for three weeks now as a mail storage and the
performance is getting slower and slower.
This is my hardware configuration:
- 1 hardware-loadbalancer
- 2 proxy-server DELL R420 16 GB RAM 2 Quadcore CPU
- 5 proxy-server DELL R720xd 16 GB RAM 2 Quadcore CPU with 3x 2TB HDD SATA
6GB/s
The cluster contains:
279.000 containers
8.170.000 objects = 984 GByte
I have about 3.000.000 GETs per day and 1.500.000 PUTs.
The load is raising up to 12 now:

20:28.93 /usr/bin/updatedb.mlocate
Is this a memory problem or a harddisk problem?
And second question: On the server the mlocate database is rising. Can I
disable the updatedb.mlocate process and empty the database?
Thanks
Klaus
