What is torch used for over here?

Hi, so I'm kinda new to coding and reading code and just want to know exactly how torch helps or is used when generating images (I assume it helps somewhere when generating images).

Thing is I have seen people say there is a performance boost when doing so. So decided to install (and currently have torch 1.13.1+cu117). But when generating images, its kinda the same speed as before (abt 2 mins for me with 4GBVRAM GTX 1050)

torch is just a machine learning library. It is required to run the model. You upgrade to torch1.13.1 is not likely to bring much benefit, because the major speedup we are talking about is on torch 2.0. See #6455
