I added an automatic refresh rate controller to pix2pix. Now the UI runs at 60 fps. I can draw things without any hiccups. github.com/keijiro/Pix2Pix

I did some basic optimizations to my pix2pix implementation for Unity. Now it runs at an interactive rate (about 7 fps on my GTX 1070). github.com/keijiro/Pix2Pix
