Refer to http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]. The generated test code should be cached across runs and only rebuilt if the dependencies change. However, the test should be run every time (because of randomized unittests).

As a heavy user of DUB, I haven't experienced this behavior. Quite the contrary, DUB sometimes does not rebuild when changing compilers, flag, or config. And there are various reports of this on the issue tracker, so closing as WORKSFORME.
