Description

We have a report that installing a number of erratta takes a long time. There is no info about what the bottleneck is, so we need to investigate.

From bugzilla:


When applying (installing) errata on a Content Host from the server, it takes a very long time.

For example, installing ~556 errata on a single content host was observed to take ~44 minutes. Most of that time (~36 minutes) was during the 'initiating the install' phase of the task (i.e. executing the pulp consumer content install).  While this may not sound too bad a first glance, it won't scale well as the behavior is linear.  As a result, if there were 100 content hosts, that same action could take ~3 days.
