Uh... it's equally as fast as emulating a Linux kernel on MacOS. MacOS does not support Linux programs natively (or Linux-based Docker containers). It's kernel is not Linux-based, it's commands are not Linux-equivalent. Only BSD-based software has a native compatibility layer, and even that is notoriously hit-or-miss.
