> Build and runtime performance improvements > - Gradle configuration cache support speeds up the build process by reusing the results of the configuration phase for subsequent builds. Any idea why configuration is so slow that it benefits greatly from caching? Is Gradle really that slow? Or is this for very complex configurations that requires probing everything about the platform, in which case I suppose there's no cross-platform development.
