Describe the request

I'm sharing a board with other people, each of us using different code. So every time I use it, I have to re-upload the same code to overwrite the previous person's code. Given the amount of Sketch code I have, the compile time is not negligible.
In my experience, Visual Studio saves the last compilation. If the code is completely unchanged, the compilation step takes only a few seconds to complete. Can Arduino IDE do the same?

Describe the current behavior

Even though my code never changes, the IDE has to recompile it every time.

Arduino IDE version

2.1.1

Operating system

Windows
