I remember dealing with this BS back in 2017. It was clear to me that containers were, more than anything else, a system for turning 15MB of I/O into 15GB of I/O.

So wow and new shiny though so if you told people that they would just plug their ears with their fingers.

I was working with prototypical foundation models and having the exact same problem. My diagnosis wasn't quite the same, I think more radical gains could be had with a "stamp out unnecessary copies everywhere" policy but it looks like he did get through a bottleneck. The thing is he is happy with 3x speedup whereas I was looking for more of 300x except that, of course, if it takes you 20 min to sling containers and 5 min to do real work you'll probably be happy to 3x the container slinging.
