Hi @Lance, thank you for clearing this up. Looks like I totally misunderstood the purpose of the feature. My expectations were to see the N milliseconds boost in build time by having more consistent VFS as the documentation stays:
By watching the file-system, Gradle can keep the Virtual File-System in sync with the file-system even between builds. Doing so allows the Daemon to save the time to rebuild the Virtual File-System from disk for the next build.
I didn’t find any references in the documentation that it would actually trigger a new build when changes are made on FS. But, if it works as you mentioned, I guess this could be a very helpful in case of IDE using.
