I have seen the agent's inventory sync go very slow.

I had an agent with about 180 or so resources. I started the agent clean (nothing in /data directory; inventory.dat was gone). It took about 10 minutes for the agent to complete the sync - all that time, the agent showed red in the UI so this will be confusing to people thinking they started the agent but its not turning green within a minute or two from startup.

We need to optimize the inventory sync so it goes faster.
