Android studio Gradle build speed up

Question

Since the last update (Build from june 25) any changes in the Android studio Gradle is painfully slow. And it also seems to autotrack changes when you edit the file and recompile on keyup.

Each change takes several minutes on my i5.

Any idea how I can speed up my Gradle changes?

Definitely makes a difference: How To… Speed up Gradle build time

Just create a file named gradle.properties in the following directory:

/home/<username>/.gradle/ (Linux)
/Users/<username>/.gradle/ (Mac)
C:Users<username>.gradle (Windows)

Add this line to the file:

org.gradle.daemon=true
