 Running the full language pipeline across every pattern in a large list scales
 linearly and can therefore take a long time on large amounts of phrase patterns.
 As of spaCy v2.2.4 the `add_patterns` function has been refactored to use
-nlp.pipe on all phrase patterns resulting in about a 10x-20x speed up with

 especially if you're using an older version) the `add_patterns` function can
 still take a long time. An easy workaround to make this function run faster is
