Problem conclusion

• Performance for VMware inventory jobs could be slow depending
  on different environmental factors. This change improves
  overall VMware inventory job performance by caching objects and
  decreasing number of calls to vCenter. The benchmark numbers
  that have been attained in test are as follows:
  Object Count: 18647
  Inventory Time: 191409
  The numbers above correspond to 10 millisconds per object.
