This is due to the following in compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist:

  (maven
   ;; Maven is a popular build tool for Java.  Maven is Free Software.
   "\\(.*?\\):\\[\\([0-9]+\\),\\([0-9]+\\)\\]" 1 2 3)

which was added here:

2007-07-25  Joakim Verona  <joakim@verona.se>  (tiny change)

	* progmodes/compile.el (compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist):
	Add support for the Maden build tool.

This regexp is pathologically slow on long lines.  Since the performance
impact is quite serious, and this bug has affected more than one user, I
went ahead and commented out this line in compile.el.

Joakim, could try to come up with a faster regexp?
