title: "Starting a new Gradle Daemon for this build (subsequent builds will be faster)"... every time
body: <p>I use Gradle 2.10 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS</p>
  
  <p>I was getting told "<em>This build could be faster, please consider using the Gradle Daemon</em>" so I created a <code>~/.gradle/gradle.properties</code> file containing  <code>org.gradle.daemon=true</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Result: Every time I run <code>./gradlew build</code>, I am now told:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Starting a new Gradle Daemon for this build (subsequent builds will be faster).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... every single time. And the build does not get faster and faster: it always takes about 10 seconds. If I run the build 3 times in a row, it outputs the message above 3 times, and though I am well below Gradle's <a href="https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#sec:how_can_i_stop_a_daemon" rel="noreferrer">3 hours of inactivity automatic shutdown</a>.</p>
  
  <p>How to fix this and make the daemon survive for a longer time?</p>
