+- An option `--disable_mmap_load_safetensors` is added to disable memory mapping when loading the model's .safetensors in SDXL. PR [#1266](https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-scripts/pull/1266) Thanks to Zovjsra!
+  - It seems that the model file loading is faster in the WSL environment etc.
+  - Available in `sdxl_train.py`, `sdxl_train_network.py`, `sdxl_train_textual_inversion.py`, and `sdxl_train_control_net_lllite.py`.
