is there a way to profile the Gradle Sync? Same build on mine takes 1m34s, while 2s on a collegue

https://github.com/gradle/gradle-profiler maybe?

yeah, I saw it but the closest thing I found is this

`--studio-install-dir`: The Android Studio installation directory. Required when measuring Android Studio sync.

I wonder if that is valid for a non Android Studio as well

As Android Studio is mainly a customized IntelliJ IDEA, it might be worth just trying to supply an IJ directory. 🤷‍♂️

It used to work with IntelliJ, but not anymore with IntelliJ 2023.3+ 😞 , see this issue: https://github.com/gradle/gradle-profiler/issues/546 Maybe also build scan can give you some hints
