Building and running app via Gradle and Android Studio is slower than via Eclipse

Question

I have a multi-project (~10 modules) of which building takes about 20-30 seconds each time. When I press Run in Android Studio, I have to wait every time to rebuild the app,

Searched everywhere for this and finally found a solution that works for us. Enabling parallel builds (On OSX: preferences -> compiler -> gradle -> "Compile independent modules in parallel") and enabling 'make project automatically' brought it down from ~1 min to ~20 sec. Thanks to /u/Covalence.
