Well, I do not think it is a good practice (in terms of reproducible research) to keep on running Sweave in the same R session, because your previous run and your current workspace could "pollute" your next run. To make sure a document compiles on its own, it is better always to start a new clean R session. If you run into speed issues (e.g. you have chunks which require intensive computing), you can consider using cache, which the knitr package has reasonably good support.
