Perhaps I can explain why it takes so long to render (although if you had a busy server you could get it for any site... anyhow!). I have a main screen (Wizard) that has about 7 steps you have to do. I was required to go "free flight" mode in that any step of the wizard could be done at any time... so teh main page has ticks/crosses to show how you are progressing. Each step, in itself, can contain a number of steps (this got me round using javascript to show/hide bits which really messes up JSF and is really against the JSF paradigm anyhow!). So I shield parts of the monolith by using s:fragment... JSF seems to still render all the bits shielded by s:fragments anyhow!! So I have The Mother of all Pages being rendered.. pulling in about 14 other .xhtml pages built on top of a couple of nested templates! :( View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4039660#...
