If so would it be faster for step 1 to simply make a mapping between inventory names and server side ids and send it to the server to complete?   Just thinking out loud and probably with erroneous assumptions to boot.  :)

The biggest problem is probably pulling all the asset data down from the server for all those items.  That said, it 
could probably be done more efficiently than it is now.
