fastai does all the tricks required to make training of image type problems fast as well as some other tricks to improve performance.

you can implement the same tricks in your pytorch pipeline and it will be just as fast/good as fastai is built on top of pytorch.

I noticed also that besides the one cycle schedular, fastai also uses other tricks such as discriminative learning rates. This is very obvious when using the fine_tune method. Perhpas that contributes to fastai getting better results.
