I believe @rdallman has some numbers on overlay vs btrfs (the latter being really slow).

check it out, btrfs (left) vs overlay2 on our default cluster, each data point is the mean of 1 hour (ran for few hours):

[rdallman]

damn those images suck... redoing:

[rdallman]

stop container isn't a good data point really, the process inside can take a while, but there's still a large disparity due to docker being slow w/ btrfs

Is that really 1.83 minutes?

I wonder if Docker has a lock/mutex while doing these operations so only one can run at a time...?
