I have upgraded Jenkins which loaded just fine. Then updated a bunch of plugins including ArtifactDeployer to 0.31. That version breaks lazy loading and cause the whole history to be loaded on Jenkins initialization. Filled as https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-24140 Workaround: I have manually downgraded the plugin to previous version.
Somehow the ArtifactDeployer plugin got upgraded on Aug 7th 20:57 UTC despite it being broken. Manually downgrading by using /var/lib/jenkins/plugins/artifactdeployer-0.29.bak and copying to override artifactdeployer.jpi
We are sticking to the previous version (0.29) for now. A new version of the plugin has been released as stated on upstream bug https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-24140 but I dont really have the bandwidth to verify whether it fix the slow startup.
