Works well enough. Better than Docker on barebone MacOS if you have lot of file access in a volume.

That's one of the thing which surprised me when I started using VMs to develop. First time was with a postgres backed app: I expected to lose performance when moving everything in a VM. But got the exact opposite result at the time. Postgres really liked the linux filesystem more than the windows one, enough to do more than offset the VM tax.
