I'm using the Learning Puppet VM in VirtualBox and am getting slow performance (1 to 2 minutes per command) specifically for puppet commands.
puppet itself is oblivious to these performance issues, reporting response times as under a second:
Notice: Compiled catalog for learn.localdomain in environment production in 0.15 seconds
Notice: /Stage[main]//User[katie]/ensure: removed
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.45 seconds
Since normal Linux commands like ls execute instantaneously, I'm assuming this is not an issue of the VM needing more memory or CPU allocation from VirtualBox. Is there a way to configure puppet on the VM to increase performance?
