That's interesting, but shouldn't containers (e.g.: docker/lxc) be almost as fast as native at disk I/O?
I mean that's basically why I moved my self hosted virtual servers from KVM, which was abysmal on regular desktop spinning disks, to LXC/Docker which is comparably fast to native -- plus I can fit a lot more containers than full VMs.

The problem is that on MacOS you have to run containers in a virtual machine since you're not running on Linux. Crossing the VM boundary with IO can be slow, especially on virtualbox.
