how to use scala internals to compile source faster than fsc (fast scala compiler)

Question

fsc (fast scala compiler) is faster than scalac. but during TDD cycles i consume 3 seconds to compile sources over less than 1s to run my tests.. suggestion to reduce compile time near 0?

obviously, buy a faster computer is not an answer :)

i mean use some scala internals to compile source faster as possible

SBT can be configured to compile and run tests every time you save the source files. `> ~test` – retronym Feb 15 '10 at 09:28

Just go with SBT. But, if you are using Scala 2.8, these links might help as well:
