Finetuned Donut model taking too much time on local machine for inference , around 5 minutes.
Finetuned Donut model is taking **4 minutes 37 seconds** for inference on my local windows laptop which has **16GB RAM and 4 cores**. However, inference time is under **5 seconds on a google colab CPU machine**, it has 32GB RAM. On Colab GPU, the inference time is under a second.

**_Why it's taking too much time on my local Windows machine?_** seems like it's not a normal behavior. Could someone help and guide me on what could be wrong here?

I am using **Transformers Version: 4.28.1**, it's the same on my windows machine as well.

Also, below is the prediction function which I am using and it's the model.generate method which it taking time. 

```
def run_prediction(image):
    pixel_values = processor(image, return_tensors="pt").pixel_values
    outputs = model.generate(
        pixel_values.to(device),
        decoder_input_ids=decoder_input_ids.to(device),
        max_length=model.decoder.config.max_position_embeddings,
        early_stopping=True,
        pad_token_id=processor.tokenizer.pad_token_id,
        eos_token_id=processor.tokenizer.eos_token_id,
        use_cache=True,
        num_beams=1,
        bad_words_ids=[[processor.tokenizer.unk_token_id]],
        return_dict_in_generate=True)
    
    sequence = processor.batch_decode(outputs.sequences)[0]
    sequence = sequence.replace(processor.tokenizer.eos_token, "").replace(processor.tokenizer.pad_token, "")
    sequence = re.sub(r"<.*?>", "", sequence, count=1).strip()  # remove first task start token
    return processor.token2json(sequence)
```
Hi @shubh1608, thanks for raising this issue. 

Could you share the following information, so that we can best help you: 
* Checkpoint of the Donut model being used
* Environment being run (locally and on Colab). Copy-paste the output of `transformers-cli env` run in the terminal
* Expanded snippet to allow for full reproduction. In particular showing how the model and processor are loaded and how to code is being timed.
