The Master is CPU bound
-----------------------
Salt uses RSA-Key-Pairs on the masters and minions end. Both generate 4096
bit key-pairs on first start. While the key-size for the Master is currently
not configurable, the minions keysize can be configured with different
key-sizes. For example with a 2048 bit key:
.. code-block:: yaml
keysize: 2048
With thousands of decryptions, the amount of time that can be saved on the
masters end should not be neglected. See here for reference:
`Pull Request 9235 <https://github.com/saltstack/salt/pull/9235>`_ how much
influence the key-size can have.
Downsizing the Salt Master's key is not that important, because the minions
do not encrypt as many messages as the Master does.
In installations with large or with complex pillar files, it is possible
for the master to exhibit poor performance as a result of having to render
many pillar files at once. This exhibit itself in a number of ways, both
