Does anyone know how "lightweight" LXD is compared to Docker in terms of memory and disk footprint required for each type of container?

I've tried Alpine Linux on both docker and LXD. Memory usage is the same, however startup time is much better on LXD.

If you Google it, they have a benchmark that shows hundreds of containers being launched on Docker and LXD as a benchmark.
