I think this was a common perspective from early docker days with regard to local bind mounts (before docker switched from virtual box with hyperkit on macos). I do use Orb Stack and have noticed faster build times with Orb Stack but I haven't really noticed any difference in runtime performance between Orb Stack and Docker Desktop.

There are differences, but I think most people's code does not expose macOS' suboptimal containerization performance is all. Check my comment sibling to yours. We have noticed very observable differences.

Until Apple adds a kernel-level containerization support (likely: never) then this difference in performance will continue to exist.

That being said, Orbstack really is the best on macOS. Docker Desktop is only slightly slower but much worse as an UX. Colima I appreciate for its full headless nature but it's severely behind in performance, sadly.
