Effectively only facts and exported resources are stored for each
node[1]. This is opposed to storing the complete set of resources (and
other stuff?) for each node. For normal puppet usage there's no loss
to using thin_storeconfigs. The full set is useful if you want to
query it as part of an external process. A monitoring or inventory
service, for example.

Bryce F did most of the work that actually made storeconfigs useful.
There are some very good posts on his blog[2].

Using a cron resource with fqdn_rand() interval works pretty well and
is dead simple. cron { puppet_agent: command => 'puppet agent --
onetime', minute => [fqdn_rand(30), (fqdn_rand(30) + 30)] }
