A lot of the renderers in
JSF specifically and explicitly indicate what part of the generated HTML they will be output in, whether HEAD, body-start, body-end, or wherever. If you attempt to blindly override them you will probably not like the results.
The best way to increase the loading speed is to keep the content short, which doesn't require any messing around with JSF internals at all. In the case of user-requested JavaScript, making the scripts externally URL-referenced instead of in-line may help.
For some frameworks such as RichFaces, the server synthesises a client-specific script and uses the same script as an external URL reference for all of the client's RichFaces pages. So ensuring that this script is cached on the client can be a major performance
boost. This isn't as easy as it seems, however, since some webapp servers such as
Tomcat disable caching for secured items and have to be persuaded to re-enable caching.
