TTS Bench — Speed — linux-cloning

Rig: linux-3090 — AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT 16-Core Processor · NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 24GB · 63 GB RAM · Linux 6.8.0-117-generic

Label: cloning · chris_hemsworth voice (note: metavoice uses the 67s clip — it needs ≥30s ref — all other models use the 15s clip)

TTFA = time to first audio (ms; lower is better). RTF = real-time factor (× realtime; higher is better; e.g. 10× means 10 sec of audio generated per 1 sec of compute). Cold = first run after process start; warm = subsequent runs.

Speed winners

Fastest predefined-voice: LuxTTS (cuda) — 34.86× warm RTF, 241ms warm TTFA

Fastest cloning-capable: StyleTTS 2 (cuda) — 35.30× warm RTF, 253ms warm TTFA
