Closes #6278
Emergency mitigation for performance issue noticed by Oleg where calling
parent.getNumberOfChildren()
ends up being very expensive due to the way Java does inheritance and virtual methods.This is not a full fix, but will reduce the number of times this method is called to 1/4th its previous number (for binary trees).
