Since update to jenkins 2.57 (and still after update to 2.58), there is a lot of delay when clicking on 'build' button for a job. It could reach 5 minutes before really starting the build.

Queue handling seems also to be altered (jobs don't come in queue rapidely)

And the job triggering by upstream job is also really slow, reaching sometimes internal 'timeout'.

What i can get from logs is (not sure which of those could be really related but it seems that those errors are linked together) :
