Dependency resolution takes a while to complete

[scimetfoo]

build: 1.1.2

Each time I open up a kotlin project using emacs, the LSP connects, and soon after, the dependency resolution begins which takes a while to complete. Here are the LSP logs:

Found the following clients for xxx: (server-id kotlin-ls, priority -1) The following clients were selected based on priority: (server-id kotlin-ls, priority -1) main Adding script definitions [ScriptTemplateWithArgs] main Kotlin Language Server: Version 1.1.2 main Connected to client async0 Adding workspace folder null async0 Adding 846 files under xxx to source path async0 Searching for dependencies and Java sources in workspace rootxxx async0 Resolving dependencies for xxx through Gradle's CLI using tasks [kotlinLSPProjectDeps]... async0 Successfully resolved dependencies for xxx using Gradle async0 Resolving dependencies for xxx through Gradle's CLI using tasks [kotlinLSPProjectDeps]... async0 Successfully resolved dependencies for xxx using Gradle async0 Resolving dependencies for xxx through Gradle's CLI using tasks [kotlinLSPProjectD ... ... ...

Is there anything I can do to avoid having to wait so long for dependency resolution each time?
