Dramatic performance degrade from build-info-extractor-gradle-4.4.9 to 4.4.10

[ncabanis]

When upgrading the build-info-extractor-gradle from version 4.4.9 to 4.4.10, the Gradle configuration time is trippled from 10 seconds to over 30 seconds. Our build has 230 projects. We are using Gradle 3.3.

In another build, its even worse. 299 projects, Gradle 2.4 --> from 30 seconds to over 2.5 minutes.

Find attached, a screenshot from the profiler.

@ncabanis,
We are aware of this issue and it is the result of a critical fix added in 4.4.10. The fix resolved an issue that caused the artifactoryPublish task to be skipped for some sub projects when using the gradle daemon.
This is the commit which resolved the issue, and as a result, the addProjectEvaluationListener is added for every project applied. We're trying to figure out a way to improve the performance issue caused by this change.
