On newer OSes (10.9 for example), I rarely have to do a full compile / build with Julia. The first time takes a while for all the deps, but over 9/10 times all that is needed is: - git pull - make clean - make
Sometimes a "make cleanall" is required, which would be slow but was also rare (when I was on 10.6, this was required more frequently, which I never dug into).
