Quartus II Incremental compilation?

The Quartus II handbook says that its Incremental compilation feature has the ability to iterate rapidly during the design and debugging stages. What exactly does this mean? Is this feature similar to Partial Reconfiguration offered by Xilinx?

It means that your build times using Quartus will be quicker because it won't redo things that haven't changed. So instead of a 20 minute build, maybe it takes only 2.

They are entirely different things.

Thanks buddy. You are of great help.

Maybe not.

Partial reconfiguration might involve rerunning Quartus to compile a new design. Incremental compilation would speed up the process, and also guarantee that the part that wasn't supposed to change actually didn't change. (Or at least make it more likely.)
