I had major CPU and RAM trouble back when I was using puppet to copy
big binary files.  I switched to deploying them using a custom apt
server, and most of my problems went away.  I''ve also had trouble with
clients that have a high latency to the server in 0.24.x, but I''ve
heard that''s fixed in 0.25.x.
