It's not just one task, it's the whole playbook which is slower.
Local yes as user go. 
This runs in a normal performance
go@host1:~$ ansible-playbook slowplaybook.yaml -i inventory

On the same machine the same playbook but executed by the go-agent is slow.
It ran fast in the past until the incident with the heavy load on the 
agents and big backlog
100% Usage of all 150 agents + 200 Jobs in the backlog. 
Beside this there where no changes on the playbook or the settings of the 
agents (env variables)

Normaly we only use about 40-50 agents and no backlog

Is there maybe a cachefile or lockfile created by the agents which does not 
get deleted with a deinstallation?
