I've been looking for faster implementations of Whisper, the main drawback with Whisper Jax is that the performance comes from running on Google TPUs, which are much more expensive than GPUs.
On "normal" GPUs the fastest implementation I've found is https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper. Whisper.cpp works faster on a CPU, especially on Apple Silicon, but still nowhere near the performance you could get on a GPU (understandably).
How does Whisper Jax compares to faster-whisper on a GPU?
