+## Benchmark
+
+We generated the same strings with to gerneate audio between 1s to ~300s in order to test the speed across a range of varying inputs on Pytorch CPU, MPS, and MLX pipeline, and compared it against the native Swift version with Core ML models.
+
+Each pipeline warmed up the models by running through it once with pesudo inputs, and then comparing the raw inference time with the model already loaded. You can see that for the Core ML model, we traded lower memory and very slightly faster inference for longer initial warm-up.
+
+Note that the Pytorch kokoro model in Pytorch has a memory leak issue: https://github.com/hexgrad/kokoro/issues/152
+
+The following tests were ran on M4 Pro, 48GB RAM, Macbook Pro. If you have another device, please do try replicating it as well!

+### Kokoro-82M PyTorch (MPS)
+
+I wasn't able to run the MPS model for longer durations, even with `PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1` enabled, it kept crashing for the longer strings.

+#### Swift + Fluid Audio Core ML models
+
+Note that it does take `~15s` to compile the model on the first run, subsequent runs are shorter, we expect ~2s to load.
