Disable automatic loading for groovy grapes

Question

Sample script ss.groovy:

@Grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', 
      module='http-builder', 
      version='0.5.0')
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder

println('done')

for some reason, it takes ~ 25 seconds to load when starting from

groovy ss.groovy

and ~ 5 seconds when starting with

groovy -Dgroovy.grape.autoDownload=false ss.groovy

according qaru.site/questions/1762997 / ... . I tried to perform manual initialization with

Grape.enableAutoDownload = false
Grape.grab(group:'org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder', 
           module:'http-builder',
           version:'0.5.0')
import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
println('done')

but this fails when importing with:

/tmp/ss.groovy: 3: unable to resolve class groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
 @ line 3, column 1.
  import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
  ^

Is there an affordable way:

• Do not download artifacts automatically (preferable, since this allows you to solve other problems, for example, an external site down while the artifact already exists in the local cache)
• Make launch faster any other way.

This is not possible with the current (Groovy 1.8.1) implementation. I created a ticket for improvement: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-4943 .
