Do you mean whenever a buffer changes?  If so then I think the answer is No,
and you wouldn't want it to, since you frequently are working in agenda and
causing changes to the document buffers.  This has been discussed before and 
even if performance was not a problem there are reasons for not regenerating 
while you're in agenda.

There's a function that will regenerate the agenda after an idle time of x 
seconds:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-1-8-11 

I assume it could be modified to check for changed files on disk, if you 
wanted to use that as trigger for regeneration.

OK. May be are right, and update agenda on buffer save or get used to
update it manually is better, but what are the main reasons not to
update agenda by buffer change (except performance)? Could you give me
a link to that discussion?

I think http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-1-8-12 (refresh the
agenda view regularly) is more suitable. I see the only one reason for
regular agenda update --- keep "now" line up to date and run update
every minute. But how to synchronize this with minute start (zero second
of each minute)?

Via after-save-hook?
