As far as I know:
The Morfik people solve this in their IDE by continuously compiling
your project in the background while you are editing, as a low priority
process. When you actually hit the compile button, it's just the linking 
stage that is done - which is by itself a lengthy process.

It's the first thing I disabled, because it eats CPU power and reduces
the responsiveness of your PC incredibly.
