SD 1.5 is so insanely old at this point im not sure the point of this when you have Mini Max H3 on metal https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49252179

A1111 also had its time. Comfy takes a couple hours to learn, and then it’s vastly superior. Like, if you are already on Mac there is no reason to also kick yourself in the face trying to go back to 1111.

The speedup includes running LoRAs, right? Which ones are you using?

Automatic1111 wasnt being updated, people moved to Forge Neo, ComfyUI and Maestro.
