How is that faster for anything but small examples ? it will invalidate running sessions and require
bigger items (such as Hibernate/JPA, Spring configuration etc. to have to restart too.)

If this is just for JSP compilation it is less of an issue.

Is JSF facelets refresh also disabled by default or will it be ?
