👋 I'm having reeeeeally slow composable preview rendering time in Android Studio. Between 30s if I'm lucky, up to 1min. I'm using • Windows 10 (cpu 8 cores, 24GB RAM) • Android Studio Arctic Fox 2020.3.1 Canary 2 • Android Gradle Plugin 7.0.0-alpha02 • Kotlin to 1.4.20 • Compose version to 1.0.0-alpha08. I disabled my antivirus and added rules to exclude project files, but still no luck... I'm previewing one composable at a time. I tested few weeks ago on a MacBook, it was much much faster. Performance might not be a major concern right now, but if someone has a clue on how to improve it a bit, I take it !

Agreed- between Alpha 08 and AS 2020.3 something got super slow this week for the preview

Do you by any chance use the dependency-analysis plugin? https://github.com/autonomousapps/dependency-analysis-android-gradle-plugin

I'll give the plugin a try and let you know. Thanks

Oh no. My point was that the plugin on 0.68 and lower had an issue where it made everything slow. 😃 No need to add it I think

😅 ahah ok. No I'm not using it. I found that even an empty project is slow to show previews on Windows. I don't know how to specifically monitor preview time (because I don't know if it uses gradle), but I recorded what's happening on my computer after creating a blank compose project.
