Here's what I'm getting: $ time ./puppet --version 2.6.5 real 0m3.369s user 0m0.881s sys 0m0.839s It's on a "small" system with only 1G RAM and a 2.3GHz processor, but still, 3 seconds just for the version is a bit much. This seems to be consistent with anything that doesn't load facts. Those, of course, take longer.
