Lets imagine a 10 modules application. I don't believe each module will always depend from the predecessor (10 depends 9, 9 depends 8, 8 depends....)
Is commons see 10 depends 1, 2 and 3. 9 depends 1, 2. 8 depends 7, and so go on. Probably some modules need to be compiled in sequence. Others can be on parallel. So maven look to the machine, 4 cores, let me see, 4 cores, compile module 1... compile module 2... now compile module 3, 4 and 5..... I think maven dependencies mechanism is able to define who can be compiled in parallel and who need to be compiled in series. And can exist a parameter to force series work. Well, just a idea.
