Issue #5200 has been updated by Markus Roberts.
The branch on #6911 now contains a sketch of the fix for this, with one known bug and a small amount of cleanup left to do. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5200: Many-to-many implementation of stages needlessly inefficient https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5200 Author: Markus Roberts Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Markus Roberts Category: performance Target version: Statler Affected Puppet version: 2.6.0 Keywords: Branch: Trevor Vaughan reports: <blockquote> Stages appear, by default, to generate a many-to-many dependency graph. By adding 'pre' and 'post' stages that contain a single item, the graphs are vastly reduced in complexity and we're seeing something like a 3X speedup in graph execution in simple test cases. I've attached a couple of puppet files illustrating the issue with their associated graphs. If the graphs could be auto-reduced to a single point prior to execution automatically, it would be quite helpful. </blockquote> I believe the savings could be even greater in complex situations. We had discussed addressing this internally by creating a whit (null resource) but the idea apparently did not make it into code. It should be an easy win. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
