I very much experienced this with our django application and traced the problem back to django's dev server polling for fs changes at 1hz. Apparently this is enough to spin fans with docker for mac.

I solved the problem by installing inotify into the container, which django will use if present, which reduced cpu from 140% to 10%. This is a couple of months ago.

Thank you very much! I have this same issue but did not discover the culprit.
