does excess vocabulary influences on a computational time? #30

I am sorry to bother you. Does excess vocabulary influences on a computational time? Thank you in advance.

There may be a small reduction in computation time by removing excess vocabulary, yes.

The primary reason to remove excess vocabulary is to reduce memory overhead. This is doubly important for the GPU models, where memory availability is at a premium.

However if for some reason you would like to retain excess vocabulary then that's not a problem, you may take a small performance hit, but your model will still run fine.
