Pipeline extremely slow when triggered by a user in comparison with the time triggered pipeline

XMLWordPrintable

      I recently setup a new Jenkins server on Linux. I am facing issues with the pipeline execution time. The pipeline script takes much longer to execute when triggered by a user. On the contrary, it is quite fast when built periodically by a time trigger (This is also the expected behavior). This is causing a huge overhead for complicated pipelines we are using in our project. See the following example pipeline I created for demo (see the attached image for the results):

      pipeline {
    agent {label "${NODE_LABEL}"}
    stages {
        stage('One'){
            steps {
                echo 'First stage...'
            }
        }
        stage('Two'){
            steps {
                echo 'Second stage...'
            }
        }
        stage('Three'){
            steps {
                echo 'Third stage...'
            }
        }
        stage('Four'){
            steps {
                echo 'Fourth stage...'
            }
        }
        stage('Five'){
            steps {
                echo 'Fifth stage...'
            }
        }
    }
}

       After looking into the jenkins.log file, the difference I see between the two runs is that at every stage execution in the slower build (executed by the user) there is warning due to an exception in CpsFlowExecution as below:
