FAQ
Puppet is taking about 5 minutes per run on a Windows 2008 R2 server.
Here's the breakdown:

config_retrieval 1.638
exec 1.0764
file 320.1297
Total 322.8441

There are only 13 file resources:

4 are directories
2 are small powershell scripts
6 are relatively small text files
1 image file (9K png file)

Puppet version is 2.7.19

Why so long ensuring these files are correct?

    Are you recursively copying the contents of the directories?

    Doing this in puppet can be extremely slow, because puppet has to travel
    through the directory trees and create a file resource for each
    subdirectory and file in the tree, then sync each file separately.

    If you have the ability to put the directories in packages and install
    them, or even just put them in a zip archive and unzip them to install
    them, you will see much better performance.

    Are these on a local filesystem? Or vm shared folder (hgfs)? Or smb/cifs?

    Are you managing owner/group/mode? If so, can you try omitting those properties?

    I've discovered some performance issues with how we're using WMI to
    resolve usernames into SIDs when managing file owner and group, see
    [1]. Is your Windows server joined to a domain? Do you have multiple
    domains? forests?
