Oh hey, I’m the Konstantinos mentioned at the end. The excellent work done by the Asahi Linux folk on discovering demonstrating the incredislow MacBook nvme flush is what prompted me to dig into this for Docker.

Nice to see the fixes make it into a release!

I sponsor https://github.com/marcan (Asahi). I encourage anyone invested in the Mac ecosystem to do the same. This discovery is just one of the benefits of having people paid to poke around Apple's stuff.

PS: of course you can support Docker also: https://www.docker.com/pricing

Thank you for advancing Docker science. And for crediting the Asahi folks.

Nice work and thanks! Is there any more info on how the nvme flush issue led to such massive perf improvements? The blog post doesn't seem to go into details.

Sorry I missed this message - I think the best write up of it is from the issue thread: https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/7#issuecomment-1044...

Just upgraded my mac to give it go. So far, with this change you made Docker Desktop for mac go from barely usable, to very useful. Good game.
