Superwhisper is very very slow

Don't get me wrong, I use SuperWhisper daily. I love having the different modes and detailed prompts to produce the output that I need. But in terms of dictation speed, sometimes it is so painfully slow. I recently started playing with Wispr Flow where the output is almost instant as soon as I am done talking. I wonder if you have anything in the works to get more speed gains in the app.

This may depend on your system hardware and training model. I can say that, for me, as long as I keep the app open and keep focus on the working app, that my processing time when using the free model (Ultra V3 Turbo) is fairly decent. My initial processing time (first-use) is slow, but all subsequent uses are fast. That being said, I really wish that they would consider adding the option to NOT unload the model from memory because those first-use cases happen a lot in the same session, and those /are/ painful to deal with.

I have a M4 mac with 128gb ram. This isn't a hardware limitation. I stopped using Superwhisper a while ago, but maybe it's worth trying again.
