Even if minor changes are made to the project (change CSS, add extra images), the entire project gets recompiled.

Changes like the ones mentioned above don’t require this. Could you check if the app files actually require recompilation and don’t do it if is not needed?

Suggestion for doing this (don’t know if is actually possible):

1 Before doing the build check each app file's last change time.
2 If one timestamp changed or is not available (for new files)
3    Recompile files and store their timestamps
4 else
5    Skip the build
6 Copy the other files (CSS, js, etc.) to the server

the webdsl compile step is now skipped when app files did not change
