FWIW, the first "discovery" I made on this route was adding these two lines to
every repository:
<releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
<snapshots><enabled>false</enabled></snapshots>
Then do a build and turn on snapshots for the repositories you need them on.
The ones that you turn them on with, these are candidates for moving to a
sub-build. But even without moving them, disabling snapshots on repositories
that don't have any snapshots will speed up your build as well.
