Are you asking why it takes so long to recompile when all you have changed is a MIF file? 

 

If yes, then try enabling the "Use smart compilation" option under Settings->Compilation Process Settings.

Is it a small design? How long does it take?

Yeah that's odd. Have you tried running it from the command-line to see if there is any difference (or if it gives more information)?
