Reproduction steps:

1. Create 4000 users
2. Run the below groovy script (change 20156 to the userId of the user with which you are logged in)

   import com.liferay.social.kernel.service.SocialRelationLocalServiceUtil;
   import com.liferay.portal.kernel.service.UserLocalServiceUtil;
   import com.liferay.portal.kernel.dao.orm.QueryUtil;
   
   List users =UserLocalServiceUtil.getUsers(2, 4001);
   for (user in users) {
   long idu = user.getUserId();
   SocialRelationLocalServiceUtil.addRelation(20156, idu, 12);
   }

3. Add the Microblogs portlet to a page
4. Refresh the page

Experienced behavior: In this case the user has 4000 connections and the page is loaded in about 14 seconds

Expected behavior: Rendering the portlet shouldn't take this much time

Loading the page takes even more time if the user has more connections.
