privacy wins of local models for Gemma

Did a bit of testing and thought I'd post the result here.

After a few runs on Threadripper box, I ended up with decent performance, but the setup only really made sense once I adjusted around prefill/decode split.

Nothing scientific here, just practical notes from a real setup.

I care more about stability than squeezing the last possible tokens/sec out of it.

What worked for me was pretty simple. If you're on TensorRT-LLM, I'd confirm the version first and then reduce variables until the behavior is obvious. Not glamorous advice, but repeatable baselines save a lot of time.
