gentoo recompiles what you update. The point of Gentoo is to have all the binaries compiled with specific flags to optimize for your system. Anything you update is emerged as code and compiled on the spot so that the code runs as optimzed as you want for your system in particular. You aren't recompiling the kernel or required system files when you update for example firefox. You only update the firefox binaries and any dependacies that also have updated code.
