Correct. The first one uses the changes you suggested and the second one doesn’t.
I’m using the profiler;
import cProfile
pr = cProfile.Profile()
pr.enable() 
continue_training(output_path+out, numberOfClasses=1, learningRate=1e-4, input_size=input_size, stepSize=200, numberOfEpochs=5, outputName=out2, loaders=private_dataloaders)    
pr.disable()    
pr.print_stats(sort='time')
