Indeed the compilation from LaTeX2 is faster, but compilation from  
watch seems to be faster than LaTeX2.

I think "watch document" is useful when one is editing (formatting) a  
document, but when one is drafting/writing compiling is not so useful.  
In my workflow I tend to save quite often, but in many cases I don't  
care (and don't want) to compile the document, often the document  
would not compile correctly.
