Andrew, I think you hit the nail on the head with the 3 improvements. We've disabled SASS and gone completely with Respondr in our uPortal 4.1 implementation and it has improved build times and has reduced complexity. We've done some testing with Tomcat 8 and would really like to see Java 8 support especially with the end of public releases from Oracle on Java 7 coming up in April.
