Without wanting to appear flippant, perhaps I want a floating car :)

In my case I need a tool that *if* run during production hours will
consume very little CPU - we''ve got very stringent requirements for
application jitter. It''s likely we''ll end up running Puppet
(or
whatever) only outside production hours.

 (We may end up setting up dedicated processor sets for the
applications, leaving a pool for other processes, including Puppet -
clearly configuring processor sets is something that Puppet can help
with!)
