Try marking yout context with reloadable="false" in server.xml or if using the eclipse plugin, uncheck the reloadable chechbox (project -> Properties -> Tomcat -> General -> "marck this context as reloadable") In this way, when you change a class implementation, only this class is changed and Tomcat won't reload all the webapp.

I have a very similar development environment and I use the catalina-ant tasks for removing my context from Tomcat and re-installing my context to Tomcat and I've found that after I do that a few times, I need to restart Tomcat to reclaim memory ... my .WAR is about 92MB, so that might be why it doesn't take too long.
