But supposing you have a real specific need to train, is the training speed still relevant? Or do the resources spent on gathering and validating the data set dwarf the actual CPU/GPU usage?

If training is trivially fast that allows you to iterate on architecture choices, hyperparameters, choices which data to include, etc

Of course that only works if the trial runs are representative of what your full scale model will look like. But within those constraints optimising training time seems very valuable
