You don't have to regenerate cache when making changes to skin files - tpl, css, js. You have to regenerate it if you are making changes to php files. One way to avoid this when modifying php files is to modify the file under /var/run directory and when satisfied with the changes repeat them on the actual file under /classes/XLite

The cache regeneration is extremely annoying and it has been discussed here before, unfortunately so far there is no actual solution to this
