It seems like when I run wmic on a machine for the first time, it seems
to lag -- which I'm guessing it's because it's caching all the data that
it's detecting.

It seems like this "caching" phenomenon is wmic-specific, because I know
I have queried the WMI database before with PHP via the COM interface.
But it seems the first time you run wmic it does it.

So, my question is, why?
 
When you run WMIC for the first time the all the aliases are compiled, and
then any subesequent runs of WMIC should start immediately.
