Description

On large Content View publishes, a good portion of the publish is spent running Actions::Katello::Repository::IndexContent. In cases where repositories do not change, we still run IndexContent.

This slows down users who desire rapid publishes with only a small set of changes, eg:

OS repos with 1000s of packages never change
app layer repos with few packages that change often

Users have to pay the price to index the content on a publish for the large OS repos that are largely static.

How to reproduce:

1) Create content view with RPM content
2) Publish CV, note IndexContent steps are run
3) Publish CV again with no changes, note IndexContent is still run.

also, would we expect re-indexing to take 300+ seconds?
