Hi there! I'm having a Compose Multiplatform project. I'd like to measure how changes to Composables affect our local Compose Preview speed using the Gradle profiler.
The 'Build & Refresh' link in the Compose previews will run :module:compileAndroidMain , so I can call that as a clean and then run the same again for the measured benchmark. With the option apply-kotlin-composable-change-to of the Gradle profiler I can simulate adding a Composable.

So this all works ✅, and it measures how fast compileAndroidMain runs, but this takes between 500ms and over 2s for some modules. I feel that the previews in the IDE are usually quicker, I presume because they don't run compileAndroidMain . Does someone know which Gradle tasks (if any) are run by the IDE when quickly iterating on Compose previews? Or does it completely avoid calling Gradle? Thanks!
