While enabling ZGC can improve build performance by reducing GC pauses, hardcoding the heap size to 4GB (-Xmx4g) might be too high for some developer machines or CI environments with limited memory. This could lead to failures when starting the Gradle daemon if sufficient memory cannot be allocated.

To make this configuration more flexible, it's good practice to add a comment indicating that this value can be overridden in a user's personal ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file. This helps other contributors easily adapt the settings to their own environment.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4g -XX:+UseZGC # Override in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties for different memory requirements
