Using CardFilter.All causes huge hit in performance

[techfooninja]

I'm primarily using the Board.Cards property, since I'm interested in all cards on the board, regardless of which list they're in. When I run the following code, it executes relatively quickly (5-10 seconds for the 15-20 boards I care about):

this.trello = new TrelloFactory().Me().Result;
foreach (var board in this.trello.Boards)
{
    // board.Cards.Filter(CardFilter.All);  // <-- This causes huge perf hit
    await board.Cards.Refresh();
}

But if I uncomment the filter line, I hit a massive performance hit, possibly even more than 100x (waiting several minutes and it just finished the first board).

Details:

• Used in a .NET Framework 4.6.2 Console Application on a Windows 10 machine (Version 1809, OS Build 17763.379). I see the same behavior on a Windows Server 2016 machine (Version 1607, OS Build 14393.2906)
• The first board I'm trying this on has 8 lists, about 40 visible cards, and 15 archived cards
• Looking at the Fiddler trace, it looks like the API is returning all of the cards relatively quickly (within a second or two of the default query), but it appears that the parsing/processing of the response is what is getting hung up.
• I'm using a paid Manatee.Trello license
• I downloaded the git repo and referenced it in my project instead of using the nuget package. I'm not really familiar with the library code, so I haven't been able to debug fully myself. But it looks like there is a lot of time being spent on line 42 of ReadOnlyActionCollection.cs, which is:

internal ReadOnlyActionCollection(Type type, Func<string> getOwnerId, TrelloAuthorization auth)
    : base(getOwnerId, auth)
{
    _updateRequestType = RequestTypes[type];

    EventAggregator.Subscribe(this);
}

Maybe there is a concurrency performance issue with the lock used in EventAggregator.cs on line 58?:

public static void Subscribe(IHandle subscriber)
{
    if (subscriber == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(subscriber));

    lock (Handlers)
    {
        if (Handlers.Any(x => x.Matches(subscriber))) return;

        Handlers.Add(new Handler(subscriber));
    }
}

Thanks for the report. I'll check it out.

The event aggregator is actually pulled out of Caliburn.Micro and unchanged (to my recollection). I might be able to remove that lock, but I need to contemplate it first.

Do you need the actions on the cards? Turning off the actions download (via Card.DownloadedFields) might be a workaround for now.

Also, I think you meant to put this in Manatee.Trello, not Manatee.Json. I'm going to close this and open one over there (I'll tag you).

Ha, whoops...yes, I meant Manatee.Trello...sorry about that.
