Containers don’t really slow down apps significantly. It’s not a VM, it’s still a native app running in your kernel, just on a separate memory space and restricted access to hardware.
That is true for Linux and maybe Mac, but on windows I think they have a bit more overhead. But again I agree that in most cases it is not significant.
Is the overhead because of containers or is it because you’re running something that is meant to run on Linux and is using a conversion layer like MinGW ?
