Hi,

A minor note - one of the items in the plans for 1.0 is to make the Gradle
daemon being a default.

In my experience, this daemon process, while really improving the execution
speed, is very memory-consuming - it was sitting there in background and
eating more than 400 MB of memory. I know Gradle in general is memory
intensive, but there is a difference between consuming 20% of RAM (in my
case) for a minute while building, and consuming the same amount forever -
other applications are more likely to be pushed to swap.

I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong :-) I'm just pointing out that there
is a kind of trade-off between memory and speed, and I'd at least warn a
user about it in the documentation, or on daemon startup.

Regards,

Andrew
