Are there a relatively large number of users being edited? I've noticed that performance seems to drop substantially when looping results in a large number of bundle calls, and assuming $index is a list iterator, that could be related. By "large number" I'm talking about a couple hundred, which realistically isn't a very large number. But on systems where I have over 200-ish accounts, it takes an additional minute+ to just iterate over the list of user homedirs defined in an array. This is significant given that a few thousand other promises only take a minute or so to set/verify. I saw similar behaviro when trying to find a way to process ~14K files; performance went to the crapper when I put the processing of each file into a parametrized bundle. When I modified the logic so I passed in the list rather than individual elements, though... Well, it still wasn't great, but it was acceptable. From those few experiences, it seems that iteration within one bundle is ok, but iteration over multiple bundles (which seems to include file editing) will kill you. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
