SPEED node ported to Forge Neo and SwarmUI for faster Krea-2 image generation

A user has ported the SPEED Comfy node to WebUI Forge Neo and SwarmUI, aiming to accelerate image generation with Krea-2. This node splits the generation process, running the initial steps at half resolution and the remaining steps at full resolution. This technique offers a speedup of approximately 1.25x to 1.33x while also improving image quality by reducing common artifacts like cloned objects and extra limbs. AI

IMPACT This port may offer faster image generation and improved quality for users of Forge Neo and SwarmUI with Krea-2.
