Mario,
ViewStateDumper is awesome! I get a large number of "#null?"s in output but
everything else is as expected. In my situation bottleneck is bandwidth;
especially since ViewState is sent back to server and upload speeds are most
always much slower than download speeds. Compressed ViewState by adding the
following to web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.COMPRESS_STATE_IN_CLIENT</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
This cut ViewState down by about 1/5th.
Thanks again to all. I think I have good temporary solution but will look
more into server side state saving.
