Converting vocabulary types and JIT-compiling Numba functions can represent a substantial amount of the compile time for very simple regular expressions. In particular, type conversion needs to happen every time the code is run and takes a few seconds at each session. Here we perform these operations while the model weights are downloaded and loaded on GPU, thus removing some of the overhead associated with the index compilation.
Closes #768.
