bcfg2-admin pull unusably slow

[solj]

There is some sort of regression that has caused this recently. Need to pinpoint what caused it.

The problem appears to have been introduced somewhere in bd0fd1c4c32864414b60b51828c79198503cb3f6. I have not yet figured out exactly where, but this commit causes bcfg2-admin pull to run approximately twice as long.

To test:

#. cat /var/lib/bcfg2/Bundler/test.xml <Bundle name="test">

<Path name='/test.txt'/>

</Bundle> #. mkdir -p /var/lib/bcfg2/Cfg/test.txt #. touch !$/test.txt #. echo "blah" > /test.txt #. bcfg2 -vqn #. bcfg2-admin pull <clientname> Path /test.txt

I will look more closely and see if I can figure out why this is happening.

I think this was my fault. Pulling the updates into my git repo caused a lot of pyc files to need to be regenerated. I think just the sheer number of files changed caused the behavior I was seeing. Once the new pyc files are generated, things go back to normal.
