Re:Running Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 in 298MB of RAM by loondri on Tuesday October 03, 2023 @07:09PM (#37758802)
The trade-off between memory usage and inference time uncovers a potential flaw in prioritizing resource efficiency over performance.

This would deter real-time or near real-time applications where latency is a critical factor.

Also, the confusion over the phrase "0.5-2x slower" highlights a possible lack of clarity in communication within the community, which would hinder the accurate assessment and adoption of such optimizations in practice.

You might be making some good points, but it took me about 3 attempts to understand your comment.

For example:

Maybe instead:

> The phrase "0.5-2x slower" is confusing. You might get more adoption if the language was more clear.
