Storing results in a build cache is not free. This is expected to make certain builds slower. A build scan will show you more information of where the time is spent. That being said if the time difference is quite significant then that is not expected.

Nope. It's just marginal. Interesting! I would have thought the cache wasn't free in the realm of space, but i would have thought that it always made builds faster. I guess that's what gradle-doctor doesn't outright recommend it? 😅 I just noticed the same thing when overnight I benchmarked parallel builds. To answer your question though. clean builds were like 6x faster with caching. but incremental builds were like a second slower. so I think we will end up leaving it enabled.

We are planning some improvements that are expected to reduce the overhead of storing stuff in the cache that will likely help here as well.

@lptr since I'm going to ship this sorta soon. are these improvements like right around the corner (1 day to a week) or are you just giving me a general heads up that in a few months this should also be improved?

No, these are months in the future at best.

thank you. appreciate it
