Its because the contents of a maven site aren't packaged into a war and dropped on a standard servlet engine. If you had all the little files bundled up, you would push one big compressed file. Creating and deleting the DAV or SCP connection kills you. Doing a keep-alive helps, but then you still have the ACK/NAK of the little files stuffed into little packets when what you want to push lots of big packets and let TCP/IP optimize the transmission flow control underneath the DAV/SCP protocols. maven-site-plugin needs a better lifecycle to push packages, not files. Files suck.
