      On EAP 7, reproduce EJB timer degradation from this like so:
      1. Deploy ejb-timer.war
      2. Run simple load and note this can run quite long:

      $ ab -c 50 -n 10000 localhost:8080/ejb-timer/HelloWorld
Time taken for tests:   169.187 seconds

      For comparison, you can test with fewer EJB timers added as children at start up and note this is quite fast:

      /standalone.sh -Dexample.seedCount=100
Time taken for tests:   0.432 seconds

      The linked simple fix improves my test with 1000000 entries down to ~2 seconds.

      AbstractModelResource$DefaultResourceProvider.hasChildren is inefficient and adds extra processing time while holding a lock. The LinkedHashSet init it forces puts an entry in one at a time. So if its for some resource with many children, the time this takes can scale up quite a lot. And it holds a lock so it can spread contention to other threads.

      A notable example of this degradation occurring is the EJB timer sevice on EAP 7 with many child timers:

      Fortunately it looks like the EJB Timer service itself is improved in latest EAP 8/wildfly by no longer using the AbstractModelResource$DefaultResourceProvider here. But we may want to still add easy optimization to avoid such a scaling concern on the EAP 7 EJB Timer service or anything else that may potentially use AbstractModelResource$DefaultResourceProvider with many children.
