DeltaList very inefficient for large projects

[gsmet]

Affected version

3.14.0

Bug description

I'm experimenting with a large Quarkus project to try to enhance our build time and I noticed that DeltaList was very inefficient on this very large project.

It takes several seconds to figure out that nothing has changed when I compile the project again.

Here is a profile:

As you can see, it represents close to 4% of the whole build (and the whole build is several dozens of seconds).

I'm experimenting with a patch.

The incremental compilation is reported faster with Maven Compiler 4.x. Would it be possible to give it a try?

[gsmet]

We can actually close this. I fixed it there for Maven 3: #335.

I’ll do some testing with Maven 4 probably soonish but it didn’t seem like it would have the same issue.

Ah, indeed, I see that the ArrayList have been replaced by TreeSet in the DeltaList constructor. Thanks
