    Hi, is there any known issue with file system watching slower build on gradle 7.5.1 ? my local build super slow when file system watching enabled, especially on clean build and some specific kotlin task that generated tons of file

    Is there any benefit to enabling downside to disabling file system watching for ephemeral CI builds?

I don’t think the impact would be noticeable for ephemeral CI. That said, why do you want to disable it?

I think it's causing issues on GitHub Actions runners since they are low powered machines, and I have a large project (a few hundred subprojects)

Hm. What kind of issues? File system watching shouldn’t add any significant CPU or memory overhead. With it disabled, we still track in memory the same things during the build.
What I mean is if you disable FSW that will not decrease the load during a build.

I was thinking potentially IO issues, but it looks like in this case the issue were caused by a GitHub Actions issues.

OK, so not a FSW problem? Great!
