Kotlin 2.1.20 vs 2.1.0 in nowinandroid

The Gradle build performance comparison shows a slight improvement in overall build times for variantb_kotlin_2_1_20 compared to varianta_main_2_1_0, with a mean time of 213.747 seconds versus 214.317 seconds, respectively. The most time-consuming tasks across both variants were ‘org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile’, ‘com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.DexMergingTask’, and ‘com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageApplication’. Notably, the ‘com.google.devtools.ksp.gradle.KspTaskJvm’ task showed a significant timing variation of more than 10% between the two variants. In terms of resource consumption, both variants showed similar CPU and memory usage, with a slight increase in memory usage for variantb_kotlin_2_1_20.

Comparing -Xms usage in nowinandroid

The analysis of the Gradle build performance comparison data reveals that the variant variantb_no_xms generally takes longer to build than varianta_using_xms. The mean build time for variantb_no_xms is approximately 3.5% longer than varianta_using_xms. The most time-consuming tasks across both variants are :app:l8DexDesugarLibDemoDebug, :app:mergeExtDexDemoDebug, and :core:designsystem:compileDemoDebugKotlin. In terms of CPU and memory usage, both variants reach 100% CPU usage, but varianta_using_xms uses more memory. Garbage collection data shows more collections for variantb_no_xms.

Reducing parallelization of Kotlin compiler to 3 workers in nowinandroid

The Gradle build performance comparison shows that the build times between the two variants are almost identical with a mean difference of just 99ms (0.05%). The variant with the Kotlin compiler and 3 workers (variantb_kotlin_compiler_3_workers) has slightly higher P90 values in most tasks, indicating that it might be slower in worst-case scenarios. The most time-consuming tasks across both variants are :app:l8DexDesugarLibDemoDebug, :app:mergeExtDexDemoDebug, and :core:designsystem:compileDemoDebugKotlin. Notably, the :app:mergeExtDexDemoDebug task is faster in variantb_kotlin_compiler_3_workers by 10.3%. CPU and memory usage are almost identical between the two variants.

Comparing G1 vs Parallel in nowinandroid

The Gradle build performance comparison data reveals that variant B (variantb_main_parallel) generally performs better than variant A (varianta_main_g1). The mean build time for variant B is approximately 14.3 seconds, which is 6.6% faster than variant A’s mean build time of around 21.5 seconds. The most time-consuming tasks across both variants are :app:l8DexDesugarLibDemoDebug, :app:mergeExtDexDemoDebug, and :core:designsystem:compileDemoDebugKotlin. Significant differences in task execution times are observed in :app:transformDemoDebugClassesWithAsm and :core:designsystem:bundleLibCompileToJarDemoDebug. The CPU and memory usage are also slightly lower for variant B.
