faster Moss gens for iterating (30s→10s)

I know Moss comes boxed with a 50 step CFG 3 workflow, but it actually performs pretty well at lower step numbers (e.g. 20 in my tests) with minimal loss in quality and changes in the output.

Key points

  • That means, if you are iterating over a huge number of images, you can at least dial in your prompt and workflow using a much lower step count to speed the process along.
  • Higher CFG improves stability, too, with CFGs in the 6-7 range still not overcooked.
  • The stock 50 steps took 27s in a batch of my test images, while 30 steps took 16 s and 20 steps took only 11 s, from prompt start to final image.
  • I haven't explored schedulers or samplers yet, but I suspect there are more optimized settings there too.
