Improve performance of Issue View Page with multiple Issue Links

Summary

When loading an issue, Jira gets information from every single linked issue. In cases where there are too many linked issues, overall performance to load these issues will take a hit. The Thread related to loading this issue will be reaching to the database, such as:

at org.ofbiz.core.entity.jdbc.SQLProcessor.executeQuery(SQLProcessor.java:527)
...
at com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.DefaultIssueLinkManager.getLinks(DefaultIssueLinkManager.java:343)
at com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.DefaultIssueLinkManager.lambda$new$1(DefaultIssueLinkManager.java:82)

Suggestion

Limit how many Issue Links are checked or provide a parameter to define how many records are retrieved on the initial issue loading.

Workaround

Avoid having issues with thousands of Issue Links.
