Slow performance of trainer

[Stephenito]

Hi,
i am running the py quantum trainer example on the documentation (with AerBackend and TketModel), and the training time for each epoch is almost 1 minute. I would like to know how can i speed it up, what may be the most probable bottleneck.
I am using 100 samples for the training set and 30 for testing.
Thanks.

Hi, the AerBackend can be used with TketModel to perform a noisy, architecture-aware simulation of an IBM machine. However for initial experiments we recommend using NumpyModel, as it performs noiseless simulations and is orders of magnitude faster.

Thanks, i tried with NumpyModel and it performs approximately 5 times faster.
