I'm seeing the same problem. My systems are Dell PowerEdge servers running
Gentoo. When using ipmitool 1.8.9, the sdr displays everything in under a
minute. After upgrading to 1.8.11, it takes over 3 minutes. If I downgrade
back to 1.8.9 the problem goes away, so clearly it's caused by something within
ipmitool.

I’ve been using ipmitool inside my collectl monitoring
tool for some time now and it’s been fairly efficient, thanks to some
optimizations from this mailing list. However I’ve recently noticed
it’s gotten much slower and I don’t know if something has changed
OR if it’s the actual hardware architecture that’s doing this.
Specifically I’m running 1.8.10
Before running it I do:
ipmitool sdr dump xxx
followed by
ipmitool –S xxx sdr
while it’s using very little cpu time, it IS using a
lot of elapsed time which makes me wonder if it is something about the system
configuration. I do know for a fact that when I first started using it
with the cache, the cache I was able to get the runtimes much lower.
My reason for asking is I do a mix of monitoring activities
with collectl and gather the ipmi data only every couple of minutes, but I
something use a monitoring interval of 1 second for the other data and the
slowness of ipmitool prevents this. If it is what it is, so be it but I
just want to make sure it’s not me.
