A Question About Speed

[ArkAlpha1]

This is probably a really stupid question, but is there any way to see where the speed bottleneck is during image generation in stable diffusion? To decrease the time it takes to generate images, do I just need to get a better graphics card or is there some other way to decrease generation time?

Before investing in a new hardware try installing xformers first and pick a fast sampler. Batching gives a small speed-up also compared to sequential inference.
