# 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.
