The tests were run against a local repository to remove network variability. Your comment on using docker pull to benchmark a file system perplexes me. This is not a general purpose file system, it is purpose built for only one use case - the graph driver. The good news is that this is all open source, so if there is a specific concern, this should be opened as an issue on the github. The claims are also easy to validate (or refute)... since you can just run it on your own system. Please do share that experience on github, as we are genuinely interested in making this successful for everyone. The install setup experience is definitely something worth pointing out. This is an area where it is not as smooth as it should be, but we are working with Docker to work on those issues. We need a richer set of interfaces to make the v2 plugin interface work... note that the v2 plugin interface is still in beta. This is in no was a finished project, we are working with others in the community to see this through.
