[Bug 1215282] [NEW] Possible puppet performance regression with 2.7.11-1ubuntu2.4

[Brad Marshall]

Public bug reported:

We appear to have a performance regression with puppet 2.7.11-1ubuntu2.4
that we recently upgraded to, particularly on our more heavily loaded
puppet master.  When we're running 2.4, many of our puppet clients get
the following:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired

and the load on the puppet master is higher than with 2.3.  When we
revert back to 2.3, the load is much lower (around 20 rather than around
40), and most of the puppet clients can retrieve the catalog without a
problem.

Is there any further information you need, or any debugging we can
assist with finding out what the issue is here?

OS Version: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS

$ dpkg-query -W puppet
puppet	2.7.11-1ubuntu2.4
