FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Javac 1.8 compiler is running very slow when sompiling a class with several generic methods.
The compilation of the class from the test case takes 11 seconds.
Adding one additional generic method like this
 public static <T> PropertyValue<T> with(Property<T> property, Donor<T> valueDonor) {
        return null;
    }
increases compilation time by a factor of 5!
Adding additional type parameter to some of the methods also increases the compilation time by a single-digit factor.

Compilation of the same code using language level of 1.7 takes less than one second.

In a real project (like mine) after migration from 1.7 to 1.8 language level the compilation takes more than 15 minutes per class.

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
Using 1.7 language level compilation of the same class takes less than one second:
javac -source 1.7 src/main/java/frol/NestedExpressionBug_011.java

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile provided test class:
javac NestedExpressionBug_011.java


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Compilation takes less than one second on Intel Xeon CPU E3-1240 @ 3.40 GHz

ACTUAL -
Compilation takes more than 10 seconds on Intel Xeon CPU E3-1240 @ 3.40 GHz

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
