Due to a project at work involving some solution that unifies employee profile pictures to a company standard, I've been looking into image generation/editing to get a better understanding how it works.

After figuring out image generation with various models and getting some understanding of comfy I started looking into edits with Qwen.

I'm using the standard comfy template for Qwen image edit 2511 and am trying to change the color of my suit on a photo of me. I'm using Qwen 2511 FP8 as diffusion model. The text to image prompts took somewhere between 30-60 seconds on my system, the Qwen Edit is now at 18% after 22 minutes time elapsed. I know I don't have the most high end system, but it still seems like there is something off that I missed.

CPU: i7 5930
GPU: 9070XT (16GB)
RAM: 32GB

According to the system monitor, total memory usage is around 88% (29GB), there is zero activity on the disk where the page file is located and CPU and GPU are both at around 30% load. So I don't think I'm running into paging issues, but I wonder if the GPU is fully used?

Any input/tutorials would be appreciated.

Edit: Ok, I'm a moron. The fp8 model for Qwen is 20GB, for some reason I thought it was smaller. So it for sure is memory swapping like crazy. I'll look into smaller Qwen Edit models...
