My JBoss AS 4.0.5 installed with EJB3 profile (Seam getting started guide...) takes, including my small application, 15 seconds from cache cold start. Redeploy takes about 5 seconds. So if you follow the getting started guidelines, you should see some other numbers already. 2:30 minutes can only be explained with a completely different setup/install, or a very very slow machine.
