That's way faster than building all of GnuCash and installing it, but it depends on there being good test coverage. Unfortunately for most of GnuCash that means you need to write tests before you start changing things. GnuCash is huge and doesn't run from the build directory, so if you need to test the whole application you're pretty much stuck with a rather long edit-build-install-test cycle.
