Hi, Puppetmasterd uses the webrick web server which is meant really for development only. Once you get over a number of nodes you see these issue. Check the puppetlabs docs on scaling for your options.
The other issue you are seeing is due to caching. I know this was a recently looked into but I can't remember if it was addressed and in which version (most likely 2.7.x). You can query the project page for current tickets.
