Devnet speed-up troubleshooting

If you are not satisfied with Devnet's performance, consider the following:

• Make sure you are using the latest version of Devnet because new improvements are added regularly.
• Try using lite-mode.
• Try using Devnet with Cairo VM implemented in Rust.
• If minting tokens, set the lite parameter.
• Using an installed Devnet should be faster than running it with Docker.
• If you are running Devnet with Docker on an ARM machine (e.g. M1), make sure you are using the appropriate image tag
• If Devnet has been running for some time, try restarting it (either by killing it or by using the restart functionality).
• Keep in mind that:
  • The first transaction is always a bit slower due to lazy loading.
  • Tools you use for testing (e.g. the Hardhat plugin) add their own overhead.
  • Bigger contracts are more time consuming.
