(This is actually two questions):

Running 'puppet agent --test' on a 1Ghz ARM based (Debian 6) fanless PC. It's pretty common to see the 'catalog run' take 120-300 seconds. Is this typical? 

Second (and possibly related): when I do a 'puppet agent --test (--noop)' I get this set of messages:

info: Retrieving plugin
info: Loading facts in facter_dot_d
info: Loading facts in pe_version
info: Loading facts in puppet_vardir
info: Loading facts in root_home
info: Loading facts in facter_dot_d
info: Loading facts in pe_version
info: Loading facts in puppet_vardir
info: Loading facts in root_home

Note the repeats. What have I misconfigured?

For a 1ghz ARM pc, it would seem about normal..

That depends on your catalog.

Try --evaltrace to see if there's anything specific that is holding your
performance, or if it's just too slow overall.

I've been experiencing this a lot with 2.6 agents as well. Seems to be
resolved in 2.7.
