I don't use MacApp, but I do use Jasik's IBS for a large MPW C project and I
recommend it.  It requires you to recompile the entire module containing a
changed routine, so compiles are not sped up.  However, you use Jasik's
PatchLink instead of MPW's Link and the speedup is dramatic.  My normal links
take about 90 seconds on a IIfx.  (In fact they feel longer but that is the
number the "time" command tells me.)  PatchLink never takes longer than 2 or 3
seconds.
