Regardless of the mode chosen, the total build time will be the same.
The only difference is in how the output appears.
The @samp{make} mode provides the most comprehensive grouping,
allowing output from all targets built by a given makefile to appear
together. However, there will be long interludes during the build
where no output appears while a recursive @code{make} is running,
followed by a burst of output. This mode is best for builds being
performed in the background, where the output will be examined later.
The @samp{target} and @samp{recurse} modes both collect the output of
the entire recipe of a target and display it uninterrupted when the
recipe completes. The difference between them is in how recipes that
contain recursive invocations of @code{make} are treated
(@pxref{Recursion, ,Recursive Use of @code{make}}). For all recipes
which have no recursive lines, the @samp{target} and @samp{recurse}
modes behave identically.
The @samp{job} mode is mainly useful for front-ends that may be
watching the output of @code{make} and looking for certain generated
output to determine when recipes are started and completed.
If the @samp{recurse} mode is chosen, recipes that contain recursive
@code{make} invocations are treated the same as other targets: the
output from the recipe, including the output from the recursive
@code{make}, is saved and printed after the entire recipe is complete.
This ensures output from all the targets built by a given recursive
@code{make} instance are grouped together, which may make the output
easier to understand. However it also leads to long periods of time
during the build where no output is seen, followed by large bursts of
output. If you are not watching the build as it proceeds, but instead
viewing a log of the build after the fact, this may be the best option
for you.
You should be aware that some programs may act differently when they
determine they're writing output to a terminal versus a file
(typically described as ``interactive'' vs. ``non-interactive''
modes). If your makefile invokes a program like this then using the
output synchronization options will cause the program to believe it's
running in ``non-interactive'' mode even when it's writing to the
terminal. Of course, invoking @code{make} with output redirected to a
file will elicit the same behavior.
If you are watching the output, the long gaps of quiet during the
build can be frustrating. The @samp{target} output synchronization
mode detects when @code{make} is going to be invoked recursively,
using the standard methods, and it will not synchronize the output of
those lines. The recursive @code{make} will perform the
synchronization for its targets and the output from each will be
displayed immediately when it completes. Be aware that output from
recursive lines of the recipe are not synchronized (for example if
the recursive line prints a message before running @code{make}, that
message will not be synchronized).
The @samp{line} mode can be useful for front-ends that are watching
the output of @code{make} to track when recipes are started and
completed.
Some programs invoked by @code{make} may behave differently if they
determine they're writing output to a terminal versus a file (often
described as ``interactive'' vs. ``non-interactive'' modes). For
example, many programs that can display colorized output often will
not do so if they determine they are not displaying on a terminal. If
your makefile invokes a program like this then using the output
synchronization options will cause the program to believe it's running
in ``non-interactive'' mode even when it's ultimately writing to the
terminal.

With no type or the type @samp{target}, output from the entire recipe
of each target is grouped together. With the type @samp{job}, output
from each job in the recipe is grouped together. With the type
@samp{make}, the output from an entire recursive make is grouped
together. The latter achieves better grouping of output from related
jobs, but causes longer delay since messages do not appear until the
entire recursive make has completed (this does not increase the total
build time, though). In general @samp{target} mode is useful when
watching the output while make runs, and @samp{make} mode is useful
when running a complex parallel build in the background and checking
its output afterwards. The @samp{job} mode may be helpful for tools
which watch the output to determine when recipes have started or
stopped.
