In recent years, diffusion models have gained popularity for their ability to generate higher-quality images in comparison to GAN models. However, like any other large generative models, these models require a huge amount of data, computational resources, and meticulous tuning for successful training. This poses a significant challenge, rendering it infeasible for most individuals. As a result, the research community has devised methods to leverage pre-trained unconditional diffusion models with additional guidance for the purpose of conditional image generative. These methods enable conditional image generations on diverse inputs and, most importantly, circumvent the need for training the diffusion model. In this paper, our objective is to reduce the time-required and computational overhead introduced by the addition of guidance in diffusion models -- while maintaining comparable image quality. We propose a set of methods based on our empirical analysis, demonstrating a reduction in computation time by approximately threefold.
