The "Check_MK Discovery" check was executed as active check, initializing the whole python interpreter, check_mk and the whole check_mk configuration for each check, just to perform an inventory check for a single host.

Now the "Check_MK Discovery" service also uses the permanently running Check_MK Helper processes just like the regular Check_MK service which results in a big performanc boosts for environments with a large number of hosts using the "Check_MK Discovery" service.
