[Pulp-list] How to speed up nightly repo syncs on pulp?

Hi All:

     Short Synopsis:
What is the most efficient way to sync nightly repos from RHEL using pulp?

     Long explanation:

We currently have a RH Satellite Server, and would like to replace it 
with a pulp server.  Each night, we have our Satellite Server perform a 
nightly sync of all of its channels from RedHat with the command 
"satellite-sync -email".  This command takes about 20 minutes to run 
normally.  What is the best way to replicate this on my pulp server?  I 
have written a ksh script that basically performs a for loop of the 
command "pulp-admin -u xxxx -p xxxx rpm repo sync run --repo-id=$i" on 
all of my repos, but this usually takes 2+ hours to run.  Am I running 
the wrong command, or is there a better way to do this?

thanks,

Paul
