The performance degradation is very severe when updating to V0.3.75. Previously, VAE encoding and decoding only took a few seconds, but now it takes one minute.

v0.3.76 is noticeably much slower than v0.3.75 when running(z-image model) KSampler. Please refer to the log below: comfyui.log_2025-12-01T17-28-53-130Z ComfyUI version 0.3.75.log comfyui.log_2025-12-02T08-16-46-911Z ComfyUI version 0.3.76.log
I'm getting this as well on linux amd 7900xtx with one of the recent updates. Any image over 1megapixel takes an age to decode. No idea what the issue there is.
it is the same for me on wan, what took minutes now takes half an hour

Hi All, After testing with the newer version v0.4.0, the z-image generation speed has returned to normal, and it might even be slightly faster. The slowdown issue that occurred in v0.3.76 during z-image generation has been resolved.
If you encountered issues in the older version, you can try creating a new folder and test again with the new version. The problems you experienced may already be fixed in the latest release.
