I didn’t believe the hype. I figured “eh, I’m just a casual user. I use stable diffusion for fun, why should I bother with learning “new” UIs”, is what I thought whenever i heard about other UIs like comfy, swarm and forge. But I heard mention that forge was faster than A1111 and I figured, hell it’s almost the same UI, might as well give it a shot.

And holy shit, depending on your use, Forge is stupidly fast compared to A1111. I think the main issue is that forge doesn’t need to reload Loras and what not if you use them often in your outputs. I was having to wait 20 seconds per generation on A1111 when I used a lot of loras at once. Switched to forge and I couldn’t believe my eye. After the first generation, with no lora weight changes my generation time shot down to 2 seconds. It’s insane (probably because it’s not reloading the loras). Such a simple change but a ridiculously huge improvement. Shoutout to the person who implemented this idea, it’s programmers like you who make the real differences.

After using for a little bit, there are some bugs here and there like full page image not always working. I haven’t delved deep so I imagine there are more but the speed gains alone justify the switch for me personally. Though i am not an advance user. You can still use A1111 if something in forge happens to be buggy.

Highly recommend.
