Docker runs a linux VM and it destroys intel macbooks. I hardly notice it running on the M1. Flawless experience with minimal power drain.

A coworker of mine is seeing their M1 performing about 2-4x slower than my Intel MacBook Pro where Docker is invoked. So YMMV

That sounds like they’re running x86 containers. I use Podman amd it’s very fast with ARM but notably slower when emulating x86 and there’s at least one case where this hit a JVM race condition in some old vendor code which still uses JDK8.

I'm able to use arm containers for my work and it doesn't seem any slower than what I'd expect from native performance on my M1.

Ditto: slowness is my cue to rebuild the container for both architectures
