Well, as we saw in this chapter, dimensionality reduction does not always lead to faster training time: it depends on the dataset, the model and the training algorithm. See figure 8-6 (the `manifold_decision_boundary_plot*` plots above). If you try a softmax classifier instead of a random forest classifier, you will find that training time is reduced by a factor of 3 when using PCA. Actually, we will do this in a second, but first let's check the precision of the new random forest classifier."
