seeing as this isn't mentioned in this thread yet: When recursing through directory trees, you most likely want to specify checksum => "none" in your file resource. This didn't help in puppet 0.25, but since 2.6 I've used it to great benefit. Still, large-ish trees with lots of (small) files will still take a very long time due to the other effect noted above.
