How to speedup Yeoman's grunt serve task?

Question

When testing realtime changes to my app using the grunt serve It takes between 6 to 10 seconds for the changes to show/update in the browser.

I used grunt serve --verbose to check for what task takes more time than other and found the folowing tasks consume most of the load time (in descending order);

concurent:server
grunt-contrib-imagemin
grunt-karma
grunt-google-cdn

Since I don't use cdn I removed it from Gruntfile.js but it still called; which is a bit confusing :( so I removed it also from the package.json and it disappeared.

So my questions are.

How to speed up the grunt serve to reload the browser instantly? but also preserve all "juice" of useful tasks (minify, uglify, imagemin..) when using grunt build.
Why when I disable a task on Gruntfile.js it still loads?

Thanks :)

Strange why no one answered this. – Ashesh Mar 19 '14 at 14:34 — Ashesh, Mar 19 '14 at 14:34

Apparently, this post: Grunt LiveReload is really slow discusses the same problem and I believe it solves it. I'm yet to try it out and update this post if it helps.
