Yes, but...

If you don't delete the /usr/obj/ directory, make world is a great deal
quicker, as it only updates stuff that has changed.

The rationale for deleting it regularly is that, over time, dependancies
can change and strange errors can slip in that are easily avoided by
recompiling everything. However, with a difference of a day or so,
you'll probably be fine not deleting it.

Of course, YMMV.
