When building the JSF or Spring JSP components the builds can take quite a while. On my dual core I'm looking at about 35 secs for the JSF and 9 seconds for the JSP.
The main reason for the slow down is that the CSS and JavaScript files are processed and compressed on every build. If no changes have been made to the CSS or JavaScript then we shouldn't reprocess the files.

I've updated both the JSF and JSP builds so that we now use the "uptodate" target to detect if CSS or JavaScript has changed and rebuild the respective resources only if needed.
If the build is executed with out any resources changes the JSF build now takes 9 seconds and the JSP build now takes 3 seconds.
