A user discovered that the size of the browser window used to access Stable Diffusion web UIs significantly impacts generation speed, with maximized or fullscreen windows being 20-40% slower than smaller windows. This slowdown was observed across various Stable Diffusion interfaces like Forge and ComfyUI, as well as different browser and driver versions. The user theorizes this may be due to contention between the Windows desktop compositor (DWM) and the CUDA compute context, though further testing is needed to confirm. AI
IMPACT Potential for users to optimize generation speed by using smaller browser windows.
