Nah that's normal. It's why GPUs are the usual thing for AI. Any crap, old, weak gpu with 4gb memory would run circles around a cpu

It's often easier to actually get models to run on CPU, due to simpler install configs and more available memory. Just painful to get a result out of it. Which might help keep the install simple, because it's not even worth optimizing

Not really.

I’m not even sure it works well - if at all - with 4Gb.

In any case, it’s impressive even if it takes minutes. And it’s not like you need to be there to make it work. You can create a list of prompts, let it do its thing and check the results later.

I have 4 gb and it takes about 9 seconds for me :) (Tho at 448x448 but there’s no real difference in quality.)

Good to know it works. That’s not a crap, old, weak gpu, I guess.

I’ve not tried that size but I tried 256x256 and it was too small to get interesting results - maybe there are some parameters that can be adjusted to improve it though.

The GP is asking why it's only 20x slower, rather than more slow.

Ha yep I see that now, on a reread. My bad

It's OK, I missed the "only" the first time around and read it the same way as you.
