Gradle's _incremental build_ feature helps to avoid work that is already done, but once you re-execute a task, any previous results are forgotten.
When you are switching branches back and forth, the local results get rebuilt over and over again, even if you are building something that has already been built before.
The build cache remembers the earlier build results, and greatly reduces the need to rebuild things when they have already been built locally.
