Wordpress: Slow performance when using Docker for Mac

[shankie-codes]

Has anyone else started using Docker for Mac and noticed poor performance using the WordPress image compared with using the same image under Docker Toolbox?

It's completely anecdotal, but on our four machines in the office, it all feels slower when using for Mac. Any ideas?

Since this is an issue with "Docker for Mac" and not the image itself, I am closing this issue. Hopefully the issue will help users find the mentioned forum thread.

Note that there's an open issue on GitHub now too: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/77

For me docker-sync required huge CPU time and after updating rsync it did not work at all. It seems quiet fragile to use rsync or unison as a hack here. docker for mac is a nice tool which is my first choice for most projects. Due to the sync problems, for projects with heavy IO actions, I recommend to go back to docker-machine until the this problem is under control. anyway, thanks to the whole team for all the effort!
