Not sure if it's obvious, so just mentioning that KERNFAST could give you some issues, depending on what you change between builds. Just keep it in mind if you run into any kind of trouble, and try a fresh normal build. 

Also, if it's module development you're looking at, you could recompile and un/load just the module you're poking and prodding, sidestepping the kernel build entirely.
