Yes, that is a lot for Pacemaker ... 5 nodes and each node has a status
section including operation results for every resource ... cib can get
large quite fast.
You tried setting a higher "batch-limit" in your properties? Do you see
any corosync messages when applying such changes? There is a good chance
you also need to tune corosync timings.
