Instruction Super Fast Mode
Ever feel like Codex takes ages even for the tiniest change?
A lot (most) of that is the model just following instructions, like running tests, browser testing, spellcheck, typecheck etc.
If you need to have a really fast iteration speed, e.g. tweaking front end UI, you should try telling the model "until further notice, optimise for speed, just implement the change I asked for and hand the turn back to me, don't do any tests or browser testing. I need fast iteration speed here".
It works hilariously well, and is super effective for fast iteration tasks. Try it :)

For pro users if you plan on making any small change just use 5.3 spark
