[3067083474] Upstream Reporter: Charlie Hills
Upstream issue status: Closed
Upstream description:
On macos podman load seems much slower than it should be. sshing to the podman machine and running the load from there is much faster. For example, podman load on a tensorflow image took 4.75 minutes while podman machine ssh -- podman load took 30 seconds on my machine.
Reproduction steps:
podman pull tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu podman save tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu -o tensorflow.tar podman image rm tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu time podman load -i tensorflow.tar # takes 4 minutes podman image rm tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu time podman machine ssh -- podman load -i $(realpath tensorflow.tar) # takes 30 secondsEnvironment (rootful vs rootless doesn't seem to make a difference):
