One of the first Google results, http://askubuntu.com/questions/469709/gradle-compiling-slows-down-my-computer You can find many more out there, in many combinations use cases.

Looks like Android Studio tells Gradle to use the number of threads that there are cores, so this is an Android Studio problem, not a Gradle problem per se. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder

In this specific case yes, but as I mentioned there are lots of uses cases being reported. -- Paulo

It turns out to be a "known fact" even in Gradleware. Hans mentions it specifically inhis "vision for the future" document of a month ago. He also mentions that the C/C++ build aspects of Gradle are to be used by the Android NDK folk. I already asked them about including D in the package, but the response was "nobody uses D". So maybe we (I guess this mean I) should do a user contributed patch to add D to the whole thing. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder

I was fairly appalled at the response so I have requested ability to clone the C/C++ stuff so as to add D and send in pull requests. Whatever anyone things of Gradle (or SCons) for D, it is looking more and more like Gradle is the route to build on Android. So if we want D on Android ensuring "buildable with Gradle" is a way of removing a hurdle.
