Explanation of speed boost?

[arpowers]

sorry to leave an issue for this, but I couldn't figure out what exactly this library is doing that makes things faster and what the tradeoffs are...

Would be awesome to have a quick bulleted list about this since it seems like there are few things changed, a couple forked repos, etc...

thanks for the work!

I have the same questions. A bit hesitant to try this until there's more clarity.

The speed increase + memory efficiency are both the result of xformers implementation, check out the original thread here : huggingface/diffusers#532

thanks guys! can close this if you want, still not clear if there are tradeoffs since that's not specifically stated.

I didn't notice any quality loss from my part
