Do you have checksums enabled by default?
See my comments (look for masterzen comments) in this bug:
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1973
Basically, if you have a default checksum in your manifests, then what
puppet does is computing all the checksums for all the files (and
storing them in RAM too). This can take a lots of time if you only want
to manage ownership.
The solution is to rewrite to:
file { "/some/path":
owner => "user1",
group => "group1",
ensure => directory,
recurse => true,
checksum => undef
}
Also you can read my blog post which talks about this issue:
