Just installed Arduino 1.6.9 Hourly Build 28 april 2016.

And now, the numbers compiling my 800 line sketch using 9 libraries:
- Full build : 35 secs
- No change Recompile : 11 secs
- Changed sketch Recompile : 11 secs

It seems like the slow "Changed Sketch Recompile" of 1.6.8 leading to a full build has been fixed.

I'm getting a little paranoid, so I re-checked Arduino 1.6.8 and the Changed sketch Recompile is still 35 secs.

But the compile times of Arduino 1.6.5 are still a lot faster.

I think I'll give the Hour Build 1.6.9 a try for a couple of days, instead of using 1.6.5.

Actually this is very good news.
The results are now getting more consistent with what I have measured for Windows!

Yep, happy here too.

Still "odd" that the "Changed Sketch Recompile" of 1.6.8 on my Mac does a Full Rebuild lasting 35 secs, and your W7 does a partial rebuild lasting 13 secs. If I did now know any better, and not had done a fresh install of 1.6.8, I would have thought it to be a "user error".

But, let's not dwell in the past, the future seems bright

Thanks for your support.

UPDATE: I've been using the Arduino 1.6.9 hourly build for more than 1 week without any trouble. As reported earlier the SLOW re-compiles of Arduino 1.6.8 (on Mac) are fixed in 1.6.9.

Yes, 1.6.9 compiles much slower than 1.6.5, but I live with the lower compile time and use the latest Arduino version.
