javac -O automatically assumes -depend. This is
documented in javac's docs. For a large project
where classes in different packages refer to each
other, individual java files are compiled multiple
times (hours!!) just because they are referred
multiple times.

Either javac -O should not assume -depend or there
should another flag -nodepend which will not compile
dependencies automatically. Also, the timestamps of
source and .class files should be checked before
files are compiled.
