Using this flag enables an experimental implementation of the Run command which does not rely on snapshotting at all.
In this approach, in order to compute which files were changed, a marker file is created before executing the Run command.
Then the entire filesystem is walked (takes ~1-3 seconds for 700Kfiles) to find all files whose ModTime is greater than the marker file.
With this new run command implementation, the total build time is reduced seeing performance improvements in the range of ~75%. This new run mode trades
off accuracy/correctness in some cases (potential for missed files in "snapshot") for improved performance by avoiding the full filesystem snapshots.
