> Gradle features: Great Performance

Did I missed the sarcasm tone? I've never experienced slower build systems then those used in Java world, like Gradle for example.

Are you talking about Android? I'm using Gradle for traditional Java projects (standalone and web) and its performance was good, similar to Maven. I agree that Android plugin is very slow, but I think that it's not a Gradle to blame.
People complain about C and C++ compile times but they don't hold a candle to that in Android-Java-land in my experience.
Yep, specially when you get to join NDK and Gradle builds.

It is not time for coffee, rather lunch.
