Description Kenny Tordeurs 2021-02-03 09:44:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
A repository with on_demand policy set that was synchronized only a few days/hours ago takes the same amount of time.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.9

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sync RHEL7 base channel
2. Wait a few days or hours
3. Sync RHEL7 base channel

Actual results:
First and second sync take about the same amount of time

Expected results:
It should only take a fraction of the time as most of the content was already synced before.

Additional info:
Comment 2 Kenny Tordeurs 2021-02-03 12:17:47 UTC 
Sync takes about 1h for on_demand of 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server RPMs x86_64 7Server' repository the first time and this is pretty much the same time it takes after a few hours/days.

Even the first sync for on_demand repository, should it really take 1h?
Comment 27 Lai 2021-07-16 14:34:17 UTC 
Steps to retest:

1. Import manifest
2. Enable rhel7 server, rhel8 baseOS, rhel8 AppStream
3. Sync all repos in step 2
4. Wait a day or a few hours
5. Resync all repos
6. Compare times


Expected:
Resync should have a faster time than the first sync

Actual:
Resync does have a faster time than the first sync

Forgot to mention, but set the system to on_demand first before enabling the repos and syncing.
