Smaller directories? :)
But seriously Puppet sucks at distributing large directories (you should see
posts to the list going back years on this topic). If you look at the file type
resource docs (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#file)you
can see you can change the checksum used, ignore files (unsure of speed
improvements there), recurselimit to limit the depth of recursion and possibly
the mtime attribute.
Alternatively, if running *nix you could try rsync in an exec.
Your mileage may vary,
