Well, you can also do this then:

make package-split
make release (_without_ MAKE_ISOS=yes)

in parallel, then at the end when both are finished:

make rerelease RELEASE_NOUPDATE=yes MAKE_ISOS=yes CD_PACKAGE_TREE=/foo

to get your ISO images.  The only thing that needs CD_PACKAGE_TREE is iso.1, 
so you can easily just defer that until later if you want.
