Hi,

Maybe somebody else has run into this. I'm converting a really messy =
200-ant-script build to maven, and some steps seems to run a lot slower, =
now.

The case I'm wondering about now is one where we have over 10,000 source =
files in a directory, and compile them bit-by-bit. One step specifies =
about 300 files, and thanks to javac dependency logic, actually compiles =
about 4000 files in ant.

I have converted this to maven by moving the 4000 files into the maven =
project src/main/java tree. Maven, of course, tells javac to compile all =
4000 files.

In ant, this step takes about 20 seconds. In maven, it takes about 90 =
seconds. Any ideas why?

Thanks,
Russ
