Description of problem:

Related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=976848

When subman writes out the offline cache of compliance status, it is slow
and blocks. Compounding this is that it can happen multiple times in a single
subman invocation. 

It should only be neccasarry to do this once per invocation. Subman only needs to write to disk the last compliance status it receives, before existing.

Comment 2 Carter Kozak 2013-07-17 17:50:34 UTC

Another performance fix, if it worked correctly there should be no difference in testing.

Comment 3 John Sefler 2013-07-17 18:19:52 UTC

I do not have any explicit test coverage to confirm that comment 0 was a problem nor assert that comment 0 is now fixed. 
I also do not have any metrics to confirm that performance has improved with this bug fix.

As suggested in comment 2, I can say that our automated tests have not revealed a regression in behavior with respect to compliance status that has not already been addressed in other bugzillas.  Therefore, I am flipping this bug to VERIFIED without any adverse regression.
