IntelliJ 8 Maven plugin -- too slow to use

Basically I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this other than to turn it off?

We have a pretty complicated pom heirarchy, going down 4-5 levels.

What I find is that when I run something from in the IDE, it blocks for 30 seconds - 2 minutes, spinning the CPU.

Doing a pkill -3 java shows this kind of stack, often:

The longer I run the IDE (or rather, the more times I run an application), the longer the delay.

Disabling the maven plugin seems to fix the problem.

Anybody else seeing this? Anybody from jetbrains care to comment?

Thanks,
