I`m afraid there are two major points in here:
1) Real compiler (MSC, GCC) is very much "heavier" than integrated parser. So you`ll have your system performance degraded, especially on old PCs - even while editing the code.
2) Real compiler creates binary output only for "complete", non-error source file. So while editing the code, 80% of time this code is incomplete and has potential errors. I don`t know how integrated parser works, but I think it may be more flexible than keep-last-good-build approach.
