I would run truss/strace/dtrace to see what puppet is doing when it's
"hung".

We recently fixed a bug[1] that caused puppet to take a long time to run
when managing many files (more than an order of magnitude slower in 2.7
than 2.6). For example, managing a directory recursively with 1k+ files.
The bug is present in 2.7.0-2.7.6, and fixed in 2.7.7rc2, released
yesterday. If the trace shows puppet stat'ing files with long pauses in
between, then this may be part of the problem.
