It mostly removes the big shared background VM and replaces it with smaller, more isolated Apple-native VMs.

I did an experiment migrating my Podman workload to Apple's container @ https://gist.github.com/jmonster/39e14585e107dbf990a90966c0f...

TL;DR reduces ram/storage usage; minimizes it's existence

How does that work, realistically?

That's the most expensive part of the whole transaction, b/c AFAIK, RAM is then dedicated to the VM. It can be swapped out, I suppose, but that's not great.

CGamesPlay said above its balloon memory so it won’t use all that memory by default, but it can’t release balloon memory yet.

Nice, thanks for this. My plan is to swap over to Apple's containers for local dev, and keep using podman quadlets in production.
