Peter - as Andrija and Ivan have said this is standard behaviour - but check
out http://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.11/apis/prepareTemplate.html
This API call lets you push templates from secondary to primary - but you need
to also then set " storage.template.cleanup.enabled" to false to stop templates
being housekept - hence this may not be ideal in all circumstances since you
generally want housekeeping to happen.

Peter,
once you provisioned a single VM for certain template, it's no longer
copied from ss to primary, then boot is almost instant.
In our case, I can read from SS 800 MBs and write to primary on 1GBs,
template copy for normal templates takes only 2-3 seconds. Again, when it
is copied once, other VMs just use it.
