Notable Observations

• Huge Performance Difference:
  The second run of generate_image_fn took 73.82s vs only 2.38s in the first run – likely due to the API error in the first attempt vs successful generation in the second.

• Error Impact:
  The first generate_direct_comic run (22.15s) was much faster than the second (96.58s) because the first failed at image generation due to the OpenAI verification error.

• Most Function Calls:
  enhance_user_story and _create_detail_focused_enhancement_prompt were called 6 times each, indicating retry logic during the enhancement process.

• Total Runtime:
  The entire process took approximately 5.35 minutes (320.39s) across 48 function calls.

⚠️ Main Bottleneck: The image generation and processing pipeline accounts for over 90% of the total execution time.
