When you touch code in a module then you can use "make <module>" to just
rebuild that module. If you use "make" then it will rebuild that module
and all other modules that directly or transitively depend on it. There
are some tricks with sjavac but that is essentially it.
So which module are you changing? Is this Windows? Are you re-building
images each time?
If you are re-building images every time then you'll see it creates the
jmods (packaged modules too). It is a bit expensive at moment, partly
because each package module generates hashes of the module artifact of
each dependency. This has been changed in an upcoming refresh so that
the hashes are generated and recorded once, this in turn allows for more
concurrency when generating the packaged modules. This may help you, but
hard to say.
