In a traditional file system on a modern SSD, applications can generally expect throughput of a few GB/s. At the highest level, there are two dimensions to file system performance: throughput (read/write IO) and latency (roundtrip time). Additionally, osxfs integrates a mapping between OS X's FSEvents API and Linux's inotify API which is implemented inside of the file system itself complicating matters further (cache behavior in particular). File system APIs are very wide (20-40 message types) with many intricate semantics involving on-disk state, in-memory cache state, and concurrent access by multiple processes. This means that, depending on your workload, you may experience exceptional, adequate, or poor performance with osxfs, the file system server in Docker for Mac.

There is a lot of hate so better listen to the “members” instead of reading all the from the Docker for Mac team nailed the issue: Perhaps the most important thing to understand is that shared file system performance is multi-dimensional. This GitHub issue tracks the current state. But the bitter truth is it will take ages. Usually you would work on your source code and expect no slowdowns for building.
