This page details which tasks were able to be avoided by cache hits, and which missed.
It also indicates the hits and misses for the local and remote caches individually.

// ticksPerSecond returns a conversion rate between the cputicks clock and the nanotime clock.

// Note: Clocks are hard. Using this as an actual conversion rate for timestamps is ill-advised

Instead of relying on the `-x` parameter, defining a suitable lifecycle task for the desired action is recommended.

You may have seen usage of the link:{javadocPath}/org/gradle/api/tasks/TaskContainer.html[`TaskContainer.create(java.lang.String)`] method *which should be avoided*:
