minus-squareMatt The HorwoodlinkfedilinkEnglish-2•3 days agoI 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
minus-squarelime!linkfedilinkEnglish2•3 days agowell docker on mac is a fully emulated x86 vm. everything is slow.

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.
minus-squarelime!linkfedilinkEnglish1•3 days agoyeah 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.
