[chef] Knife upload cookbook slowness

[Geoff Meakin Acid < >]

Hi all,

Does anybody else find knife uploading cookbooks slow.. I mean really slow… 
(chef 0.10)

I have site installed about 20 cookbooks, but to upload them to my own chef 
server using the knife command takes >>HOURS

I have fallen back on rake installing from the server instead, (which takes a 
few seconds in comparison!) simply because knife uploading is taking so long 
it isnt really a viable option for me - but I cant think that that's what was 
intended. It seems to do a whole separate signed certificate-authenticated 
request for each little part of the cookbook it uploads looking at the debug..

Cheers
Geoff
