From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

Gradle Community

dependencies and artifact transforms are cached outside of the project, so that may be part of what you're seeing

(also the gradle distribution, if you're using the wrapper, and the generated kotlin extensions api if you're on &lt;8.5)

`--refresh-dependencies` will also retrigger dependency resolution

but the real worse case would be killing the daemon and starting from an empty gradle user home

I also see `--org.gradle.vfs.watch=false` in the <https://docs.gradle.org/8.6/userguide/build_environment.html|options>. I've never touched it, but it sounds like disabling it might make Gradle slower
