Assuming that there is no network hog and you are not inventorying something
that has to run a full disk scan( like sw inventory *.* in the entire disk)
, the report should get to the server in less than a minute. infact earlier.

Check the inventoryagent.log as soon as you kick off a cycle, to see what it
is doing and when it is sending the report. Check the MP_HINV.log /
MP_SINV.log to see when it is receiving the message for hte NEtbios name.
Check the dataldr.log / sinvproc.log on the site, as Joseph said, to check
when it got to the site server. If the dataldr/sinvproc processed it without
errors, the data should be in SQL right away.

Hope this helps!
