Summary
The analysis of the Gradle build performance data between two variants, varianta_9.5.1 and variantb_9.6.0-rc-1, reveals several key insights. The overall build time has decreased from 516.886 seconds in varianta_9.5.1 to 499.350 seconds in variantb_9.6.0-rc-1, marking a 3.4% improvement. Configuration time also saw a reduction, decreasing by about 5.1%. The most time-consuming tasks across both variants include :app:app:mergeExtDexDebug, :app:app:hiltJavaCompileDebug, and :app:app:compileDebugKotlin, with variantb_9.6.0-rc-1 generally showing better performance in these areas.
CPU and memory usage metrics indicate that both variants are pushing the limits with 100% CPU usage observed at peak times. Memory usage peaked at 10.34 GB in variantb_9.6.0-rc-1 compared to 10.09 GB in varianta_9.5.1. The garbage collection logs show a slight decrease in total collections from 197 in varianta_9.5.1 to 196 in variantb_9.6.0-rc-1.

2. Task Type Differences
- Top time-consuming tasks:
"mergeExtDexDebug": Mean time decreased from 18.758s invarianta_9.5.1to 18.086s invariantb_9.6.0-rc-1."hiltJavaCompileDebug": Mean time decreased from 7.183s to 6.754s."compileDebugKotlin": Mean time decreased from 4.381s to 3.854s.
3. Statistical Patterns
- Tasks with notable timing variations:
"mergeExtDexDebug"and"compileDebugKotlin"showed improvements in all percentile metrics."hiltJavaCompileDebug"showed a consistent decrease across mean, P50, and P90 times.
4. CPU & Memory Usage Analysis
- CPU Usage:
- Both variants hit the maximum of 100% CPU usage.
- Memory Usage:
varianta_9.5.1: Max = 10.09 GBvariantb_9.6.0-rc-1: Max = 10.34 GB- Increase in peak memory usage by
variantb_9.6.0-rc-1by approximately 2.5%.
5. Garbage Collection Analysis
- Total GC collections slightly decreased from 197 in
varianta_9.5.1to 196 invariantb_9.6.0-rc-1.
6. Kotlin Build Reports Analysis
- Improvements observed in several compiler metrics such as
"Compiler code analysis"and"Compiler translation to IR". - Incremental compilation times improved, with a decrease from 1520.76ms to 1470.20ms in mean times.
This detailed analysis underscores the performance enhancements in the newer variantb_9.6.0-rc-1, particularly in build and configuration times, and compiler efficiency, despite higher peak memory usage.
