Summary
The analysis of the Gradle build performance data reveals that the transition from variant A (Gradle 9.2.0) to variant B (Gradle 9.2.1) shows a slight increase in overall build time, with the mean build time increasing by approximately 3 seconds (0.57%). Configuration times are also slightly higher in variant B by about 0.64%. In terms of task execution, the most time-consuming tasks across both variants include :build-logic:convention:compileKotlin, :core:account:kspDebugKotlin, and :core:analytics:kspDebugKotlin, with variant B generally showing a marginal increase in execution times.
CPU and memory usage across all processes and specifically for the build processes show no significant change, maintaining near-maximum CPU usage and similar memory footprints in both variants. The garbage collection metrics indicate a minor decrease in total collections in variant B, suggesting a slight improvement in memory management efficiency.
