I am getting the time limit exceeded notice for cases 9 through 13. My answers match, so the code is working as needed. I implemented ForkJoinTask and took the run time from 89 seconds to 25 seconds, per my IDE. However, it is still showing that it is taking too long. It recommends looking at the environment info, but I do not understand what I should do with the information on that page.

I do not want the answer, but would not mind a hint of what classes or topics I should research to improve my code speed or performance.

The code I am using, including the code already provided by HackerRank, is below. The solve method and TreeCreator class are my code.
