Tomcat JSP Precompilation is SLOW!!

Here at Rojo we have recently started precompiling all of our JSPs to improve both the speed and reliability of our system on production servers. We have about 200 JSP files, which is a large web app but not necessarily gargantuan. The entire JSP compilation process, using Ant and the jasper2 ant task, takes about 30 minutes! This is far too long. I mean, there are systems that are doing more than just compiling text, such as advanced 3D graphics and speech recognition, that are far faster than Tomcat's JSP compilation.

I've been working on solving this problem, but to no avail, which is why I'm posting this to see if there is a solution in the blogosphere. Here's what I've done so far:
So, I'm at a loss; does anyone out in the blogosphere have any ideas on how to move forward on this issue?
