Description
**Describe the bug**
After running a script on 200 computers (even without the offline flag) the system load increases exponentially due to write burst on the sqlite3 database.
I needed to clear the table DeviceScriptRun to get back to normal.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. install the agent on more than a few clients
2. create a powershell script
3. run the script on the clients
4. you can reapeat step 3 to increase the load
5. see the server load going up and up beacuse of disk write

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported workload: run a PowerShell script repeatedly across many agents and monitor server load and SQLite writes. Inspect how repeated runs populate the DeviceScriptRun table; the fix is done when comparable runs no longer cause escalating disk writes or system load.
