It did change. The FRC distribution of LabVIEW last year saw a significant improvement in build speed. It's still a turtle compared to C++, but it's fast enough that I don't have a problem recommending it.

Developing and debugging using the Run command is a lot faster than building a permanent executable, too. It greatly shortens the typical "edit-compile-download-debug" cycle.
