Slow createProjectProgram/createWatchProgram 

**Repro**

```json
{
  "parserOptions": {
    "project": "./*/**/tsconfig.json"
  }
}
```

> I use `./*/**/tsconfig.json` to ignore the root `tsconfig.json` so that it compares with the later configuration. Using `./**/tsconfig.json` will not change the performance.

The `@mufan/code-*` packages below involves symlinks.

Please let me know if this is not obvious enough so I can prepare an actual repro.

But if I change the project pattern and ignore the `node_modules` before ignore list applied, then it lints a lot faster:

```json
{
  "parserOptions": {
    "project": "./!(node_modules)/**/tsconfig.json"
  }
}
```
