I see, I don't use docker all that much on my works Mac. So haven't noticed the speed.
Also is it the storage share that's slow? As docker desktop is a VM
well docker on mac is a fully emulated x86 vm. everything is slow.
Looking at the docs, I think the current docker desktop is native arm. QEMU is now deprecated
oh nice!
~~It's not that slow. https://www.imore.com/tests-show-apples-m1-emulates-x86-faster-intel-can-run-it-natively~~
Edit: actually I just benchmarked it and containerized x86 Linux runs at like 40% of native speed. So yeah, that's pretty freakin slow.
FWIW arm64 containers ran at nearly native speed, so it's the x86 emulation that seems to be causing the slowdown.
yeah last i worked with it i was the first person in the company to evaluate the arm macs, and it basically couldn't run our application at all. took a full 40 minutes to spin up, then crashed.
That's only if you're running an x86 container right? It should be native with an ARM64 one.
yeah. last i had a mac there were no arm containers though.
