Creating symlinks in maven repositories is overwhelming. Such newRepo task can take hours to finish just because of creating hundreds of thousands of symlinks.
My idea is to create some different mechanism which depends on download server configuration. For e.g. apache it would just create config for mod_rewrite in given directory which then can be interpreted by it.
Caveat is obviously here - is download server apache? So, it needs to be configurable, on the other hand probably easily extensible for nginx, etc.

This sounds fragile. I don't suppose Maven has grown a better way since we wrote this?
I also think some of this is particular to our use netapp. I have always been surprised at how slow symlinks are there.
As long as we're musing, I wonder if we could...
More on the recycle idea...
We'd have to modify Kojira behavior. We'd only want to recycle a repo that was ready for deletion. Might be a new repo state.
When recycled, we'd move the old repo dir to the new name and very carefully make the adjustments to it.
We'd add a config option to control this.
Granted, I'm not sure if the recycle idea would actually be faster. Needs some experimentation.
