I think it's true that Maven is slower than Ant, but, sorry, I would never use Maven nor Ant to just compile my code and see if it compiles. It's a build system and not a compile system. For example, I'm using Eclipse to edit/compile all projects regardless if they use Ant, Maven or something else. For example Maven can build you the project files for Eclipse, so you have all libraries in your project setup. But that's just my way of developing.
