Making Fooocus Faster:

Fooocus is an image generation tool that you can run locally on your own computer.

Following the installation instructions it does run on a 2021 Macbook Pro with an M1 Pro processor but the image generation times are slow.

Adding the following parameters improved the speed to 3-4s/it leading to a complete image in less than a minute using Extreme Speed performance mode.

python entry_with_update.py \
    --all-in-fp16 \
    --attention-pytorch \
    --always-high-vram \
    --disable-offload-from-vram

Also added following to config.txt to enable Extreme Speed mode and show the Advanced settings by default.

    "default_advanced_checkbox": true,
    "default_performance": "Extreme Speed"
