Incremental compilation is _okay_ but it seems to perform full rebuilds if the previous build is _too_ old which is weird- meaning that more builds than expected take the entire time to complete. Nonetheless I use it for all of my builds. On the other hand this may just be because of the spiraling nature of type inference, where TS needs to re-examine a large amount of the program from a change that appears simple.

Personally I only have a small number of projects that take more than 10-20 seconds to compile, but those ones are painful. I should probably do the same with -w for those.
