Use html tag to replace JSF components when possible

Question

I am starting studies with JSF (Javaserver Faces) and writing a xhtml file, I came up with the following dilemma:

Why not use HTML tag replacing some JSF compote, when possible? Example: use: <label for="nome">Nome</label> instead of <h:outputLabel value="Nome" for="nome"/>

This practice improves application performance, while the server will have fewer components to process, or it makes no difference, since all tags will be processed by the server?

Answer 1

You can use HTML and JSF tags on the same page. The advantage of using JSF components is that you can access them from the JSF component tree. With HTML tags you cannot.
