This will not really help, for SNAPSHOTs Maven has to look in every repository.
A solution would be a configuration section for repository definitions with
includes and excludes to match groupIds e.g.:
...
<repository>
<!-- merge with central definition, exclude stuff from own company or
other commercial vendors -->
<id>central</id>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>com.mycompany.*</exclude>
<exclude>com.commercial.vendor.*</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</repository>
<repository>
<!-- repo for stuff from commercial vendors -->
<id>local-repo</id>
...
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>com.commercial.vendor.*</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</repository>
<repository>
<!-- repo for stuff from own company -->
<id>products</id>
...
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>com.mycompany.*</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</repository>
...
