I'm delighted to read that inotify will work with this. How's fs performance? Running elasticsearch or just about any compile process in a docker-machine-based container is fairly painful.
Our focus so far has been more on reliability, but we intend to increase performance steadily over time. There are lots of interesting optimisations we can make across the whole stack.
Please do check it out and suggest some particular benchmarks that are important to you -- we're busy building up a performance benchmark suite atm.
