Description

Setting the parameter org.apache.myfaces.HANDLE_STATE_CACHING_MECHANICS to false results in a blown up view state on client side.
The content of javax.faces.ViewState is > 10 times larger.

Comparison:
HANDLE_STATE_CACHING_MECHANICS = true
Request content length: 2369 bytes
Response content length: 1849 bytes

Same operation with HANDLE_STATE_CACHING_MECHANICS = false
Request content length: 28095 bytes
Response content length: 25783 bytes

There seems to be something wrong with the state saving.
