Issue #1781 has been updated by Mathieu Gagné.
Hi, The "bug" is caused by "--with-pthread" within Ruby, an option often disabled by the Ruby community. http://timetobleed.com/fix-a-bug-in-rubys-configurein-and-get-a-30-performance-boost/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby1.8/+bug/307462 I rebuilt a new Debian package with --disable-pthread --disable-tcl-thread, installed it and my CPU stopped melting. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1781: Slow execution http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1781 Author: Mathieu Gagné Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: plumbing Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: Hi, We are currently evaluating Puppet to see if it could be used as part of our management system. I'm currently facing what I consider serious performance issues. In fact, Puppet seems to be very slow in general. Let me show you a first example: $ time puppet --version 0.24.5 real 0m0.718s user 0m0.576s sys 0m0.140s During that time, there is hundreds, if not thousands "rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8)" calls being made. All this to show the version. Is it normal? If yes, why? Can it be improved? As for my second example, I installed Puppet with a basic manifest: the "sudo" example given in the tutorial. The file is synced to the node, great. However, the puppet client is constantly using about 3-4% of the CPU. Again, hundreds of "rt_sigprocmask()" calls per second are being made. Is it normal? I'm just wondering if there is any problem or if it's a "normal" behavior. To be honest, this is currently a show stopper for me as I'm not interested in running a tool which would just drain the CPU for no apparent reason. Here is some information about the environment: OS: Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid Kernel: 2.6.26-1-amd64 Ruby: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86_64-linux] Puppet: 0.24.5 Can you provide some help/hints about it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
