Not really.  If you have changed only one or two C++ routines
the compile and link part of make take only a few seconds.
There's no point in letting it go on to check all the doc files.

So really no time is wasted watching the console output.  In
my case there are usually compile errors to fix most of the time,
so it takes even less time :)

Actually Graham's suggestion to have a compile and link only
target in make was a good one.  That would save having to
ctrl-C out.
