Consider not loading the page with 30-40 richfaces components.

In fact, consider not loading the page with so many components, period.

You can use reRender/AJAX to update the page selectively and that can help, but the initial page display is still going to be a major hit on the user's patience. Simplicity is a virtue.

Yes, rendering for 30-40 components could be slow but not that much. We have used lots of components in a single page.

You can try to figure out if it is really components, or the queries involved and taking time itself to provide data to JSF page.

You can see, if there are proper null checks added while filling values for the components specially if values are being populated by hitting database.
This is the major factor, if methods calls again will hit unnecessarliy to database for the same value.

30-40 components isn't really a lot if most of them are simple components (like datagrid). 30-40 complex components may be a different matter.

But I had a single component (menu) that downloaded 3MB on each page refresh, so I had to address that. Firefox's network monitor is handy for stuff like that.
