[Puppet Users] Puppet - rbuf_fill timeout error periodically on puppet client runs

Occasionally I am seeing this error below on puppet client runs from
several different clients. The clients and the server in this environment
are rather old and this started to happen more after I used to nagios
module which uses stored configs. Does anyone know where this slowness
might be coming from (client, server, db, etc) or how I can increase this
timeout parameter? Or does this indicate some poor programming in my
puppet code in terms of inefficiency. I would say this happens maybe one
or two times a week out of 20 servers running every 30 minutes.

*Current Setup:*
Puppet Server: puppet-server-2.7.20-1
Ruby: 1.8.7.370
Stored Configs: MySQL 5.5.15
Cron Run Command (no service): /usr/sbin/puppetd --server puppet --onetime
--no-daemonize --verbose --logdest syslog

I am using passenger setup right now. I agree with your thought that it
is either the addition of tons of exported resources or the puppet master
server. I will run some experiments and see if this can be resolved.
