Two possible reasons come to my mind: 1. Memory leak, causing the machine to start swapping 2. Thundering herd problem: Too many agents accessing the server at the same time, maybe also trying to download somthing large from builtin fileserver. If 1: Try restarting Puppet server processes. If 2: Try adding some splay to the agent configuration: splay = true splaylimit = 2m HTH...
