Note about Maven performance scenarios

You will notice that for Apache Maven, we run clean compile instead of compile. It may, at first glance, look like an unfair comparison, but it's for an important reason: Maven's incremental compiler is completely broken and will miss changes. An example of serious bug can be found here.
