Bug #8643: Tree of files = day+ to xfer (note in documentation)

I understand the CM conceptual stance on this from Puppetlabs (or so I think), 
and I understand that "make a package" is the answer, but I wanted to report 
this and suggest that the documentation for the 'file' resource is updated to 
reflect reality so that people (like me) are able to accurately set 
expectations for the product depending on their intended usage.

I've spent ~1-2 hours now with this, looking at strace output, etc.

scp -r -p host:/tree-of-14thousand_files_totalling_147MB takes 1 minute to 
complete (between the same hosts used for the puppet run below, and tested 
several times, even during the puppet run).

Puppet 2.6.4 takes a full day (or more, I cancelled it) to do the same with 
that content, averaging 4-6 minutes per file for some unknown reason.
