weird, I've a 9000+ files maven monster and intellij incremental build means I've never have to wait for compilation during normal operations, and this is with a meager i7 8550u
Well, it's an incremental build. I am talking occasionally changing dependencies in a project written in a dynamic-but-compiled language, which leads to full rebuilds. The difference was big.
It also has tooling for "watching" test directories and auto re-running tests when certain files are changed -- which utilises incremental compilation under the hood and there indeed there is no visible compilation performance difference.
