Hi!

Is there a way to disable <https://docs.gradle.org/current/release-notes.html#avoiding-groovy-build-script-compilation-thanks-to-build-cache-support|Groovy buildscripts remote cache> introduced with 8.7 without disabling the whole remote build cache?

That is not possible. It's the same also for the Kotlin DSL that has build caching for a long time. Do you notice any problem with build scripts remote caching?

Yeap, my 770 buildscripts used to compile in 20 sec, whereas with 8.7 remote cache checking for them took 1.5 min

Feel free to open an issue. I can't say how it will be addressed, but it would help us at least be aware of the issue.

FYI: we ran some tests and figured that build cache might bring negative savings for Groovy script compilation, so we will disable build cache for Groovy build script compilation in 8.8: <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/28844>
