Summary
The analysis of the Gradle build performance between varianta_baseline and variantb_gradle-9.6.1 reveals several key findings. The overall build time increased from 267.3 seconds in varianta_baseline to 280.0 seconds in variantb_gradle-9.6.1, marking a 4.8% increase. Configuration time, however, saw a decrease from 40.8 seconds to 39.2 seconds, a reduction of approximately 4.0%. Task execution times varied, with significant increases observed in tasks like :core:cart:compileDebugKotlin, which jumped from 8.7 seconds to 14.8 seconds (69.6% increase). Memory usage also increased slightly in variantb_gradle-9.6.1 with a peak of 8.83 GB compared to 8.45 GB in varianta_baseline. CPU usage remained maximized at 100% for all processes in both variants.
Detailed Report
1. Build Time Comparison
Overall Build Time:
- Mean: Increased from 267.3 seconds to 280.0 seconds (+4.8%).
- P50: Increased from 266.7 seconds to 281.4 seconds (+5.5%).
- P90: Increased from 289.2 seconds to 295.8 seconds (+2.3%).
Configuration Time:
- Mean: Decreased from 40.8 seconds to 39.2 seconds (-4.0%).
- P50: Decreased from 40.1 seconds to 39.2 seconds (-2.2%).
- P90: Decreased from 44.9 seconds to 42.9 seconds (-4.4%).
2. Task Type Differences
- Top 3 Time-Consuming Tasks:
"org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile": Increased from 3.2 seconds to 3.6 seconds (+11.4%)."com.google.devtools.ksp.gradle.KspAATask": Increased from 2.5 seconds to 2.6 seconds (+4.6%)."com.android.build.gradle.internal.res.LinkApplicationAndroidResourcesTask": Slightly increased from 2.0 seconds to 2.0 seconds (+1.0%).
3. Statistical Patterns
- Notable timing variations were observed in tasks like
:core:cart:compileDebugKotlinwith a significant 69.6% increase in mean execution time. - The P50 and P90 values generally increased across most tasks, indicating a trend towards longer build times in
variantb_gradle-9.6.1.
5. CPU & Memory Usage Analysis
CPU Usage:
- All processes: Maxed at 100% for both variants.
- Build process: Slightly decreased from 95.6% to 95.2%.
- Build child processes: Increased from 92.5% to 93.1%.
Memory Usage:
- All processes: Increased from a maximum of 8.45 GB to 8.83 GB.
- Build process: Increased from 4.1 GB to 4.17 GB.
- Build child processes: Increased from 3.29 GB to 3.6 GB.
This analysis highlights the impact of the new Gradle version on build performance, showing a general trend towards longer build times and slightly increased resource usage.
