first import of data after you install patch 8 takes a lot of time. The
problem occurs because after the software inventory tool and Common Inventory
Technology scanners were merged, scanner results are stored into a new
location. All files from the previous location are marked as deleted in
the Endpoint Manager database. The deleted scan results are incrementally
processed during the import which leads to performance issues. </font>
