On a top-of-the-line 2012 MacBook Pro with an SSD, it takes 64 seconds to typeset the entire thing. It takes a couple of seconds to typeset an individual section from a chapter.

Yes. Sometimes, you are trying to fine tune a small tyepsetting issue and need dozens of trials with very small adjustments, and in this situation being able to typeset only a chapter or a section is really helpful. Also, when building complicated presentations with beamer, with overlays and other nice features which demand retypesetting the same frame again and again, beamer's ability to typeset only a single, or a few frames, is very helpful.
