The sudo tests on build.rexify.org for CentOS / Fedora systems are slower (2x) than on debian/ubuntu systems.
We need to figure out if this is a problem with rex or a problem with the system.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the sudo test timing on build.rexify.org across the listed CentOS, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu systems. Compare the test execution and system conditions to determine whether the slowdown is in Rex or the operating system. Done means identifying the source of the roughly 2x difference and documenting evidence.
