Did you modify a .h or .cpp? For the first one it's quite common that
much get's rebuild, every file that includes this header needs
rebuilding then.

Hmm, did you disable building examples and demos? Also you can go to
src/gui, src/core, ... and do a make and make install in there which
also might save some time.
