It depends on how you configure VS.NET when you have a solution with multiple projects on it. This is what the MSDN says:

-----------
Build
Builds only those project items for the selected combinations of project configuration and platform that have changed since the last build.

Rebuild
Does a complete build from scratch of all items for the selected project items for the selected combinations of project configuration and platform.
------------

I've noticed that on large solutions with a lot of project dependencies Rebuild does take longer. But to be honest, I have never analyzed what gets re-built that wouldn't under build.
