Describe the current behavior
The usage of version TF Java bindings 0.3.1 degradates performances of a 3x factor on GPU compared to version 0.2.0 .

Describe the expected behavior
Equal, hopefully better performances while migrating to newer versions.

Code to reproduce the issue
Provide a reproducible test case that is the bare minimum necessary to generate the problem.

Other info / logs
Include any logs or source code that would be helpful to diagnose the problem. If including tracebacks, please include the full traceback. Large logs and files should be attached.

Beginne mit den Spark NLP-Tests unter src/test/scala/com/johnsnowlabs und erstelle einen minimalen GPU-Benchmark, der TF Java 0.3.1 mit 0.2.0 vergleicht, während Hugging Face-Modelle geladen werden. Bestätige die gemeldete Regression um den Faktor drei, dokumentiere den reproduzierbaren Fall und verifiziere, dass die neuere Version der erwarteten Leistung entspricht.
