Merge 68877e789b into 1dae34b0af

PR Summary:

This PR accelerates latent caching, a slow preprocessing step, by optimizing the VAE's encoding process.

Key Changes:

Mixed Precision Caching: VAE encoding now uses FP16 (or BF16) during latent caching for faster computation and reduced memory use.

Channels-Last VAE: VAE is temporarily switched to channels_last memory format during caching to improve GPU performance.

--vae_batch_size Utilization: This leverages the existing --vae_batch_size option; users should increase it for further speedups.

Benefits:

Significantly Faster Latent Caching: Reduces preprocessing time.

Improved GPU Efficiency: Optimizes VAE encoding on GPUs.

Impact: Faster training setup due to quicker latent caching.

This is much more concise and directly highlights the essential changes and their impact. Let me know if you would like it even shorter or with any other adjustments!

Based on the optimizations implemented—mixed precision and channels-last format for the VAE during caching—a speedup of 2x to 4x is a reasonable estimate.
