Not really. Just for speed of building. The staging is quicker as it now
checks if any files have changed before deciding to copy them. However, it
still takes quite a bit more time than not staging at all (significantly
more time on some platforms, slower boxes or virtual machines). So, I now
always leave cmake option for staging off, then run the additional make
commands as needed.

How much time it saves is relative to how often you build, I guess. I'm
doing a multiple daily builds on 3 different platforms for GUI testing now
and the compile time savings really add up.
