Yes, CVS will only download those files which have changed since your last

If you "make clean", it will need to recompile all files.  If you don't it 
will only compile those files which have changed.  It depends if you value

Check out the free online book on KDE programming.  It's perhaps a bit 
outdated by now, but it's a good place to start:
