Hi Ramin, thanks for those suggestions! I didn't know Ruby was so important there. We do use 1.8.7 (and had some issues while developing providers and report processors because it is such and old version), as it was the officially supported version for Red Hat 6. I think we have a big margin there for improvement, so I guess that will be our first move before upgrading to Puppet Server.
