Hi, We have a pull request on the Puppet master branch which provides caching support for directory environments, and which we think addresses the slowdowns people are seeing using directory environments with their production instances.
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/2566 This PR relies on code slated for 3.6.0 (current master head), so you can't simply apply the patch to a 3.5.1 install. If you are comfortable doing a test run from a source checkout of the PR, it would be great to hear if this patch speeds up a run with directory environments enabled. There should be instructions at the bottom of the PR for how to get the branch (There is a link: 'you can also merge branches on the command line'). If you don't see that link, this is the important part: git checkout -b hlindberg-pup-1699_cache-environments master git pull [email protected]:hlindberg/puppet.git pup-1699_cache-environments Don't do this unless you know how to run Puppet from source. There is a five second cache timeout set by default. You can adjust this by adding an 'environment_timeout' setting in your directory environment's environment.conf file. The possible values are '0' (no cacheing), 'unlimited' (cache forever), or a time value such as '5s', '5m', '5h', '5d' and so forth.
