I tried using openshift for jenkins before we started with EC2.
not sure where it is now, but suggest giving it some time before 
re-trying, as we use jenkins extensively, while openshift jenkins is 
more tailored for the code you bring into openshift wrt scale.
(we are suffering from EC2 performance as well becasue of this, and 
didn't even enable the amount of CI we are used to).

btw, if you try to create an openshift account for ovirt and fail, ping 
me to look up if that was the account i created to pass to you.
