Why I use old hardware

Sounds like you never worked on a monstrosity that requires 9 different docker processes running. Java, Scala, Postgres, damn.

Even on a top of the line macbook pro that shit chugged.

And the laptop would get HOT.

I think that's just the Docker for Mac client (and Hypervisor.framework). I think the disk I/O performance was bad, the last time I used it was for Node.js/Postgres about two years ago. I was able to really speed up the integration test suite by disabling fsync for Postgres.

If you were running native Linux it should be a lot faster.

That's what servers are for.
