No I checked it against the amount of RAM. Podman with 8GB does not increase speed, Docker with 4GB is still 9s

  podman run   27->24
  docker run   9.4->9.769 total
(I increased limit in podman and decreased limit in docker). This happens with amd64 arch images (which I for some reason need in my work and cannot rebuild)

now I'm curious why it's still slow even with the increase of ram + cpu, I'll sync up with the podman core team why it's benchmarking much faster in docker vs podman (assuming both are using rosetta 2 on your machine)
I have double checked if my rosetta is enabled. I also requrested using "apple virtualization" instead of libkrun

Because podman doesn't work as well as docker.
