OK here is what I found out. CCMEXEC was reading the InventoryStore.SDF file which grew to over 4gb in size. This has to be tied to hardware inventory somehow. On a hunch, I renamed that file and rebooted the laptop. And CCMEXEC barely touched memory.
It seems like this performance issue is tied to the size of this file, and the fact that the majority of my laptops in the field have only 4gb of ram on them. So when CCMEXEC tries to read a 4 GB file it starts using swap space and slows the system down. How big is everyone's InventoryStore.sdf and how to you manage the size of that file?

I have run procmon on the PC and noticed that CCMEXEC is taking up over 3gb of ram on the PC. What logs would be best to start looking though to find out why this is happening? Thanks for the help!
