Performance Optimization Tips

Sometimes when using Invoke, you might find it feeling slower than you are used to. This can be due to a multitude of reasons - this article will help outline a few ways to improve performance. 

To improve the speed of your generations, here are some things to keep in mind: 

• Use models consistently - If you switch to a new model that has not been used recently, the application needs to load that model before generation starts. Using the same models for consecutive generations will improve generation speeds. 
• Lower step count - a high step count can sometimes be helpful, but often a lower step count can be just as effective, and reduces generation
• T2I-Adapter instead of ControlNet - ControlNet models are very large, albeit powerful, and can slow generations. If possible, try using a T2I-Adapter of the same type for a performance improvement. Note: ControlNet and T2I-Adapter models of the same type will produce slightly different results! 

Note: Generation speeds will be affected by the use of any additional models (LoRAs, ControlNets, T2I-Adapters and IP-Adapters)
