I gather that the big problem is the memory leak state of Maven/reactor and 
that Jason, Dion et al are back porting fixes to resolve issues like this. 
I've not used Maven CVS Head so can't say whether what they have done so far 
resolves the problems we are seeing. I can run "multiproject" on a smaller 
project that has 4 subprojects with Maven beta10 and I have no problems at 
all, yet on maven-plugins with 10-15 sub-projects it swamps my machine.

Would be nice to know what is the current status of the memory leak fixes ... 
Dion ?

I see the future being with multiproject - though maybe something like what 
you propose is necessary for the moment. Estimates i've seen suggest a new 
Maven release (rc1?) within 3 weeks or so.
