1 year ago if you just refer to the installing torch process: it's because the recent (last month) changes of google colab updated the torch, but stable-diffusion-webui runs on a specific version of it, so the download and installing process is the one slowing it down. (torch is huge, about 2/3 Gb, though colab's internet is fast, it still takes time)
if you refer to the overall 'waiting 8 min before the actual thing starts': it's downloading dependencies used for the entire webui thing.
If you don't want to wait, you can use the google drive version here by camenduru himself to basically install the entire stable-diffusion-webui on your google drive, so the next time you open it, it will be way faster.
Or use some community made colabs like NoCrypt's or Cagliostro, they use pre-compiled dependencies, it's fast, probably 3-4 minute faster.
