Indeed it does.  This seems to be worse on the older ruby that is
shipped in RHEL-5 than in Fedora, but it's still a non-trivial amount
of ram.  A lot of folks run puppet from cron for this reason.

You can probably avoid mucking with lockfiles yourself and just call
puppetd.  It will use /var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock by default.
This is the same file that puppetd --disable writes.  So if puppet is
disabled or already running, you'll just get the message that puppet
is skipping this run.

(I'm preparing puppet-2.6.6 for fedora and epel -testing repos now,
coincidentally.)
