Puppet users - May 2013 - deleting nodes in puppet-dashboard makes it hang

Hi,

I have 51 clients in puppet-dashboard – and when I tell it to delete a node 
– it simply hangs forever. If I try to just open / on the puppet-dashboard 
website – I get a proxy timeout (I have apache in front).

I end up having to kill webrick and start it again – with the node NOT 
being deleted :(

I have commented on an issue here - which seems to be about the same: 
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20147#change-90580

Anyone have had this problem, and perhaps found a solution? or did you go 
in and fired off some sql to delete the node (and which sql) ?

I''ve been noticing this too. I use the web interface to delete a node
and
a ruby process spikes up to 100% CPU for quite a long time. Eventually,
sometimes approaching 60 minutes, the job finishes and the node is
deleted. I''ve found a more reliable way to delete nodes is to use the
the
rake job: "rake RAILS_ENV=production node:del name=${FQDN_OF_NODE}".
This
still takes freaking forever, but doesn''t seem to time out.

It looks like a fix may be coming eventually based on this request:
