If you haven't tried the new VirtioFS accelerated directory sharing in Docker for Mac, it makes a _huge_ difference to I/O performance of mounted volumes.

Admittedly I didn't, not the least because I expect it to be at best equal in speed to my current setup, plus my current setup gives me better control on the virtualised OS + memory ballooning of the VM (... and that there are other things with DfM that rub me the wrong way).

Nonetheless, I salute the years-long effort from the Docker team on that one.
