RunTime too long!

i use model = whisper.load_model("base","cpu"), and other code is same with whisper examples,

5 seconds audio use 93.8684 seconds

but when i use model = whisper.load_model("base")
same 5 second audio use 0.9159 seconds

i want to know whether the difference is normal?

I believe it's because when you use the "cpu" parameter, you're putting the entire load of the computation on the cpu rather than the gpu.
