Still seeing a lot of memory usage

Things are starting to look really good. I’m definitely seeing a performance boost, but I also still see an enormous memory usage resolving dependencies.

Interestingly, it’s different than in M5. Seems like there are big garbage collections now, which is good, but it still creeps up to a point where it effectively locks up.

The project is a multi-module project with some jboss dependencies. The jboss dependencies are the culprit: they are deeply nested. Here’s an example. Below that is a screenshot of the memory graph.

dependencies {

Thanks for the detailed info Russ. It’s very helpful.

We haven’t started optimising yet, but this info will be helpful when we do.
