What might have some influence is the implicit disabling of the build cache by activating Jacoco report. There seems to be a increase of beam_PreCommit_Java_Cron with https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PreCommit_Java_Cron/914/ and looking into cacheable task there seems to be lots of work done now which previously was cacheable.
Not sure, whether this is the culprit- or part of it -, but I d suggest to upgrade to gradle 5 pretty fast.
