Hi,

SCons 'sees' which files have been changed and will only recompile
those, plus all dependencies (if any).
By default it doesn't look at changed date/time, but it runs an MD5 sum
on it, so only when the content of a file is changed, it will be
recompiled.
For a quick test, you could add a comment line to any .c or .h file in
source/blender/src (for example), and see if scons rebuilds that file.
Don't forget to undo your changes afterwards, or you could get cvs merge
problems ;)

With regards,
