When k3s is installed on an OS with default high ulimits, performance
issues can be observed. This was discovered on CoreOS where the default
value is 1073741816. Symptoms include very slow file operations such
as installing a Rook/Ceph cluster will take ~6 hours instead of ~10 minutes.
A google search for 'container LimitNOFILE' will show that most major
projects set this already, including the (unused) containerd systemd unit
found in this repository at /vendor/github.com/containerd/containerd/containerd.service
k3OS is not affected becuasse the default there is already 1048576.
See description in coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker#329
Cert generation may cause slow startup times for some systems such as
the Raspberry Pi, set the systemd service TimeoutStartSec to Infinity to
avoid startup timeouts.
