I have a recipe that builds an rdist distfile by searching for nodes
that match a particular attribute. These queries are taking about 3
seconds, and i have less then 20 nodes in my chef DB. I'm sure there
are some ways to optimize my chef server, but I am also considering
pre-building the data in a databag. Does chef-client use a "last
modified" field to prevent lookups from the databag if nothing has
changed?
