[Tex/LaTex] Live tex compilation

previewtoolswysiwyg

Tools like firebug allow a developer to immediately view the results of changes they make to the HTML of a webpage. Has anyone taken a similar strategy with LaTeX, so that an entire compile cycle is not required between markup-change and rendered result?

This question is motivated by increasing compile times associated with my thesis 😉

latexmk can also be used for autorebuilds if you don't want to use texclipse as suggested in other answers as it is editor independent.
