maven downloads snapshots even if they have not changed

Dear valued Maven Developers

I would greatly appreciate if someone could shed a more detailed light on the algorithm/strategy behind snapshot checking/downloading.

I already posted this on the user list, but did not receive a reaction: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/maven-downloads-snapshots-even-if-they-have-not-changed-td136030.html.

We basically fight with the same problem as is described in these (unanswered) questions:
