Add -noverify to default jvmargs

Currently Gradle has reasonable, conservative defaults. Using the default settings, my project takes 17 minutes to complete. By including -noverify it reduced to 14m26s, a 18% speedup. I don’t think that class verification should be required, as the security protection is not useful during a build. The proposal is that the common-case includes this setting, and users who require verification must change the jvmargs.

Interesting idea. Will raise with the other developers.

Hi Benjamin,

we have significant performance improvements in the upcoming 2.4 release. I have two questions:

  1. We are very interested in the effect it has on your build. 1. I’m interested if your above modification has a similar effect with 2.4.

Any recent nightly should work: http://www.gradle.org/nightly/
