Personally I don't see how these answers can be significant without more context like * how long does a full build take; * how long does a do-nothing incremental build taks (everything is up-to-date); * how reliable is the incremental build (i.e. can it do fully accurate dependency tracking on all build artifacts); * whether this is Java only, or mixed native and Java code. * targeted at "real" persons (developer builds), or server room automated build bots (CI builds) etc...
