I rebuild and reinstall each time.  Since only the changed files are
built, this usually goes fairly quickly after a svn update.  If you
ware working on extension code, it can get slow if you are building
the numpy, Numeric and numarray extensions each time.  You can
manually override the NUMERIX list in setup.py to just build one of
the array extensions while developing, which should cut your compile
times.
