Summary
The analysis of the Gradle build performance data reveals modest differences between the two variants, varianta_agp_9_0_0_beta01 and variantb_agp_9_0_0_beta01_no_builtInKotlin. The overall build time for varianta averaged 560.768 seconds, slightly higher than variantb at 555.408 seconds, showing a minor improvement of about 0.96%. Configuration times were also close, with varianta averaging 56.552 seconds compared to variantb at 57.775 seconds. Notably, variantb shows a slight increase in configuration time by about 2.16%.
In terms of resource usage, variantb consistently used less memory across all processes, with a maximum of 11.71 GB compared to varianta’s 12.82 GB. CPU usage was nearly identical for both variants, maxing out at 100% for overall processes and hovering around 97% for the main build process.
The most time-consuming tasks across both variants included :core:cart:kspDebugKotlin, :core:contact:kspDebugKotlin, and :core:comment:kspDebugKotlin, with varianta generally taking slightly longer to execute these tasks.

5. Garbage Collection Analysis
- Gradle Process GC Time:
variantamean 0.53 vs.variantbmean 0.54. - Kotlin Process GC Time:
variantamean 0.20 vs.variantbmean 0.21.
The data suggests that while variantb offers slight improvements in build time and memory usage, the differences are relatively minor, indicating that both variants are optimized similarly with only marginal efficiency gains in variantb.
