How about looking for subtasks that could be parallelized beneath the build-task, i.e. compile, assembly, package, report generation, and other Maven plugin tasks. These tasks will not have an impact on the local repository, but are still resource-intensive (especially javadoc generation) . Many of these are serial dependent within one build, but compilation in x different projects, for instance, are not. This could boost performance of building multiple projects, but would require some synchronization between builds when it comes to install and dependeny resolution. Well, this is maybe more a Maven thing, than Continuum.
By the way, the maven-compiler-plugin support a fork av a jvm, and this will be executed in a thread of its own. Have anyone got experiences with this and performance? Most servers used today have multi-core cpus or even multiple cpus. If you have 2 quad-core cpus, there is a potential of running 8 parallel threads.
