When the PC initializes, it calls all the managers' initialize() methods. It does so while holding a write lock so nobody can access the managers until they are all started.

The InventoryManager initialize does "executePlatformScan();" which in turns merges discovery and initializes the resource containers. This could take a long time.

We need to either speed that up or do it in an asynchronous mechanism to allow the InventoryManager.initialize to return (assuming that doesn't break anything - the IM must be fully iniitalized before returning fro initialize() method).
