It depends what files you are working on. If you make changes on header 
files, then a whole lot of stuff will get recompiled (due to the 
dependencies), amounting to several minutes.
In my specific case however, just a single .c file had to be recompiled 
in every go, and linked with the rest of the object files to make libgtk+.
