David Kimura PRO said over 3 years ago on Ruby on Docker :
  I just ran some benchmarks and they're pretty interesting. The M1 does have some overhead in Docker, but is still very performant.  Even running Ruby in Docker on the M1 is faster than the Mac Pro 8-Core. 

Apple M1 (Host Ruby ARM)

Warming up --------------------------------------
                 for     5.000  i/100ms
               times     5.000  i/100ms
                upto     4.000  i/100ms
Calculating -------------------------------------
                 for     51.465  (± 0.0%) i/s -    260.000  in   5.052005s
               times     49.005  (± 0.0%) i/s -    250.000  in   5.101558s
                upto     48.883  (± 0.0%) i/s -    248.000  in   5.073392s

Comparison:
                 for:       51.5 i/s
               times:       49.0 i/s - 1.05x  (± 0.00) slower
