I think the problem with incremental is that if class A has changed it still compiles the classes that class A uses, and then the classes that those classes use and so on... so in reality the benefit quickly approaches zero (but I could be wrong, I'm not sure if it's actually that dumb).</p> The incremental flag is for recompiling only that which has changed, but I don’t think it skips the compilation if nothing has changed, at least not when I have tried.
