~10x perf degradation between 5.67.0 and 6.11.0 (and later)

[michal-draftwise]

What happened?

When upgrading from 5.67.0 to 8.6.0 we noticed about 10x longer task times for :compileConjureObjects. I checked different versions in between and it turns out the task was failing for versions 6.0.0 through to 6.10.0, it started succeeding in 6.11.0 and it already suffered from described slowness.

I checked the most recent version (8.23.0 at the tine of writing) but it is still slow.

What did you want to happen?

Ideally we would have wanted for tasks to get quicker, but we'd be happy with them not being that significantly slower ;-)

Should be fixed by #2614

Hey @CRogers -- thanks for the fix. However, it looks like it's still a pretty large perf degredation from 5.x; in our project running locally, the old version of conjure compiles in 15 seconds. Before the improvement, newer versions were ~2 minutes 30 seconds, and after, it is about 2 minutes 10 seconds.
