Based on a number of community reports about certain tasks timing out during large operations, we've included a number of performance enhancements originally intended for the upcoming 2.6 release in this 2.5.4 patch release. These include:
- #13157 - Authority record edit page timeouts when multiple descriptions are related to the resource

- #13224 - Improve hierarchy management queries
