I haven't seen this problem before.

The general philosophy with ohai is to collect as much info as
possible, since disk is cheap and by the time you know you need it, it
could be too late. That said, you can opt out to any plugins you don't
want by including something like the following in your client.rb:

  Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] << 'darwin::system_profiler' <<
'darwin::kernel' << 'darwin::ssh_host_key'
