I don't know what version of Maven you are using, I assume 2, but I will give what I use for Maven 1.x to speed up and make things build a tiny bit quicker.

These will fork the junit tests into a new process (also helps when you use environment variables in tests etc and gives the tests a little more memory.

-Dmaven.junit.fork=true
-Dmaven.junit.jvmargs=-Xmx512m

This forks the compilation which might speed things up for you

-Dmaven.compile.fork=true

I hope this can help a little, try it out.
