SpringFox 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT boot time is unacceptably slow

[sgri]

We have a web app with 200 REST functions, Spring Fox initialization phase is from 3 to 5 minutes.
The bottleneck is springfox.documentation.spring.web.scanners.ApiModelReader#mergeModelBranch which merges models recursively.

Good evening, @sgri

Could you provide some kind of test repository, so I can find the reason, that makes merging of models slow.

[MaksimOrlov]

@sgri, could you, please, try latest SNAPSHOT version? There were some PR's with fixes. Does it still work slow with you project?

@sgri I believe @MaksimOrlov has addressed the performance issues and made it much faster. Closing this issue for now as fixed. Please report back if it isn't

@sgri, could you, please, try latest SNAPSHOT version?
Unfortunately I could not verify because the latest version 3.0.1-SNAPSHOT is built with java 11.0.7. We still use version 1.8 in production, and when compiling the source code with java 1.8 I get
"startup failed:
/home/sgr/Work/springfox-original/springfox-spring-webmvc/build/classes/groovy/test/springfox/documentation/spring/web/readers/MixedMultipartRequestParameterBuilderSpec$_expectedModel_closure8$_closure24$_closure25$_closure30$_closure33$_closure36$_closure37$_closure38.class (File name too long)"

Eventually I could launch my application with version 3.0.1-SNAPSHOT, but immediately got a new bug #3482 which blocks testing.

@sgri while its built with java 11, it still compiles down to java 8. Looking @ your bug
