Sun JSF RI 1.0 and 1.1 were indeed performance hogs and it indeed became negatively in the news. However, since JSF RI 1.2 (Mojarra) around early 2006, which was maintained by a new, young and excellent dev team, a lot of performance related enhancements and fixes were done. Also, computers became faster in years.
The differences as opposed to "plain JSP" and other frameworks are nowadays very minimal. JSF still needs to get rid of her old "hogging slow" imago.

If one still encounters performance problems nowadays, then it's often just caused by bad code, regardless of the framework used, or ignorance of how HTTP works under the hoods in the complete picture (a lot can already be enhanced with a few simple things).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
