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,

Answer 1

I'm far from being an expert on Gradle but my environment had the following line in .gradle/init.gradle

gradle.projectsLoaded {
    rootProject.allprojects {
        repositories {
            mavenRepo name: 'libs-repo', url: 'http://guest-vm/artifactory/repo'
        }
    }
}

Yet I have no idea why that line was there, but I try changing to

gradle.projectsLoaded {
    rootProject.allprojects {
        repositories {
            mavenCentral()
        }
    }
} 

and now I finally can work without swearing to Android Studio & Gradle buildind scheme.
