Problem In forced-subtitle mode (SubtitleMode.ForcedOnly / SubtitleMode.FullAndForced), SubtitleManager splits audio into ~30s VAD-based chunks and calls DetectLanguageAsync once per chunk. Each call spawns a fresh whisper-cli process that must: Load the ~3 GB model from disk Initialize the inference backend (Vulkan shader compilation or CUDA context) Run a trivial language detection pass Exit For a 2-hour movie with ~240 chunks, this means ~240 cold-start process launches. The model-load and backend-init overhead dominates: benchmarks show ~21s/chunk with GPU vs ~15s/chunk CPU-only, because GPU initialization is the bottleneck, not compute. Current mitigation As of e966046, DetectLanguageAsync passes --no-gpu to avoid the worst of the GPU init overhead. This cuts per-chunk time from ~21s to ~15s but doesn't address the fundamental issue: per-chunk process spawning with cold model loads. Proposed long-term fix Move to a persistent whisper-server process that stays loaded between requ
