A common way to accelerate API management of external resources to
implement prefetching in the provider (using a real ruby type) to fetch
the current state with a single (or at least small amount of) calls.
That way you'll only take a small hit in the case that nothing has
changed and will only need a single call per change.

The slowdown you are seeing does not come from config files vs. puppet
types, but from managing files vs calling into a seemingly effing slow
API. Other types like hosts or cron do not have as much overhead as you
are experiencing.
