This change modifies the powershell inventory collection script so that it's no longer writing XML to a temp file, but instead just writes directly to stdout. The WinRM library is just gathering stdout information, so writing to a temp file was not only not necessary, but reading it back out was time consuming.
With this change I saw a 30-40% speed improvement.
