Yeah, good rule. Consider if you have a.h, b.h and z.c, z.c needs b.h
but not a.h, and now b.h includes a.h ("for convenience") -- changing
a.h would needlessly recompile z.c. Now, changing slab.h will probably
recompile everything anyway, but still...
In my configuration after touching slab.h and recompilation:
$ find -name '*.o' -newer ../linux3/include/linux/slab.h |wc -l
1508
$ find -name '*.o' |wc -l
1928
78% object files were recompiled, 22% were no recompiled. Careful use
of includes does save time.
