As far as I remember, doesn't Docker for Mac create a VM and then run the docker containers in the VM? That'd explain the terrible filesystem performance.

  It does, it's a lighter VM than VirtualBox which is what docker machine used, but still a VM nonetheless.

  But that is not the issue. I think the speed of docker under the os hypervisor is fine. The bug is in in osxfs https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/77 https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/77

  docker-toolbox you are talking about. The new version (Docker for Mac) with this problem doesn't use a VM anymore, but native virtualization on OS X. The old version doesn't have this problem.

    Native virtualization is a VM...

    xhyve spins Alpine Linux VM inside which it runs Docker Engine. So basically it don't deviate too much from running Docker prev. to docker-toolbox for macOS.
