Hi,
I recently switched to CachyOS and I like it. Hopping from Distro to Distro ever couple of years, I am finally back to “Arch” (in a greater sense) - I think last time was around 2010 or so.
So here is the thing: I am using ansible (more precise ansible-playbook) to manage some systems (a webserver plus some local VMs). So far, this never had been a problem, the playbooks run smooth. But with CachyOS, this is not the case - they are slow as hell. I tried really a lot of things:
- running them from a VM - no problem. Even an Archlinux VM had no problem.
- using a container on CachyOS with podman
- switching Schedulers and even trying other kernels (including core/linux from the Arch repo)
All of those are running fine, except the kernel/scheduler switch on CachyOS (no matter which constellation, same “bad” performance). My main playbook is for my webserver and I run it quite regulary. It is executing in ~1min (sure there are some variations), in CachyOS it is more like 3m30s+ (up to 12 min!). And I also tested it in a “blank”, almost unconfigured CachyOS VM installation - same issue.
So I am a little bit confused. I have no idea where to look to further. Its not really a showstopper for me as it works very slowly, but also there are other options that I can use (podman+container or a small VM I startup and shutdown afterwards). I would like to understand the underlying problem - where is the difference between CachyOS and any other Distro here? As ansible is actually quite simple (copying some python scripts to a remote host via scp and executing them), this maybe also impact other programs.
