JBoss AS 7 Startup time

[drupalspring]

Dear JBoss AS community,

The jbpm5 project provides totally six WARs to be deployed on the AS 7 . However , I have to  wait about 10 minutes for all these six WARS to be deployed successfully. I found that these six WARs will be exploded to about 1GB data during the deployment .It may be one of the reasons about the long deployment time.

So , I want to ask

(1) Jboss gives me the impression that it is lightening fast and has the blazing fast start-up time . So I suspect that  is it normal or take too long? If it is nornaml , any ways to reduce the deployment time?

(2) Most importantly , I find that whenever the jboss restarts, all six WARs will be  exploded again to about 1GB data  even there are no changes in these WARs.  Can I configure JBoss such that it can detect if there are changes in these WARs , and only deploy the "delta" instead of all  six WARs every time during startup  ?

Thanks

You can deploy them as exploded deployments. And 10 minutes deployment time is way too much. How big is each of that war and what does it contain to be consuming 1GB of disk space?

You can see the size of the each war after exploded in the above screen. The largest one (jpbm-form-builder) is about 488MB.It is a GWT application which contains many large html files.
