I was also affected by this problem, which I solved by adding extra RAM
and cores. However, in some cases, when working with virtual machines,
this problem might be exacerbated by the fact that VMs are much slower
in collecting entropy with respect to real hardware. The low entropy
slows down /dev/random, which may cause a sensible delay for
cryptographic software (https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2017/10/05
/entropy-rhel-based-cloud-instances/).
In one of my old installations of FreeIPA, the kadmin server used to
take several minutes to start. I solved this problem installing a daemon
for generating entropy ("haveged", in my case). With haveged, the same
daemon which used to take minutes, was starting in a fraction of a
second.
