Incremental mode is good because it doesn't have the loading of JVM everytime. It becomes a larger problem when you load 6 jars as well. Incremental mode in any way is great for rapidly fixing errors especially when you are in a editing environment which lacks all the proper code completion/intellisens/syntax checking that some other tools do (And yes I know emacs has some of those features and they partially work - no where close to comparable to some of the integrated IDE's thou). I have no problem with the memorty overhead of a constantly in memory JVM but the startup time can be painful.
