lm-studio mtp performance-regression rtx-5090 cuda update

Summary

A user reports that the latest LM Studio update (0.4.17) eliminated the multi-token prediction speed boost, reverting to previous performance on an RTX 5090 setup.

Last week I was running LM Studio version 0.4.14 on my rtx 5090 setup I switched from the 27B standard to MTP model, standard settings https://preview.redd.it/o7dsxole1h7h1.png?width=1604&format=png&auto=webp&s=dcde6a073ca3bab47e392f6656996cea930126f5 My TPS thoroughput went from \~70tps to \~100 with MTP enabled, a nice boost This week, I updated to 0.4.17, also updating the cuda runtime. As a result of this update, MTP no longer increases the speed at all, im back to 70tps WTF happened? What did they break to make it so much slower?!?! How do i fix it?
