I would expect about a 5x slowdown running Docker images. Docker on a Mac utilizes a hypervisor. Hypervisors rely on running the same architecture on the host as the guest, and are about about 1x - 2x as slow as running natively. Since you're running ARM Mac, these hypervisors can only run ARM Linux. They can't run x86_64 Linux. What will happen instead? These tools will fall back on emulators. Most of the software I run in Docker already supports ARM. I'd imagine that a lot of (most of?) us that use Docker do, too.
