I am trying to speed-up a gradle build (v.3.4.1) and there are a few things I don’t understand.
Running the test task together with --profile switch i get different times reported:
console - 6 min
test report - 3 min
profile report for :test task - 6 min
Where are these time differences coming from?
I see lot of Gradle Test Executors.
Looks like a new one is started for each test class. Is this normal? How can I profile the build when i have so many different processes started?

My intention is to speed-up the tests in gradle, as in IDEA the same tests run in under 2 minutes. Any help appreciated!
