Fasttext model load time

Question

I have trained a model using AWS SageMaker and downloaded the model from SageMaker. The model .bin file is 1.7GB in size.

Now, I am loading the model using fasttext(https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/unsupervised-tutorial.html) using below code

model = fasttext.load_model(os.path.join(model_dir, 'vectors.bin'))

It takes atleast 4 secs to load the model in my local machine as well as in an EC2 instance.

How can I improve the loading time
