How to reduce the Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext time?

Question

I know that this question is too vague for anyone to provide a solution but I can provide more details if required.

My web application is using spring and I have deployed it to JBoss server, while jboss start-up "Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext" is nearly taking 20 minutes. Am I having any options to reduce this? I have close to 300 beans in 20 or more xml files.

Please advice.
