LXC poor performance on Apple Intel-based MacBook pro

[dxunix]

Hi,

I am a newbie for this. I installed proxmox 8.1.4 installed on an old MacBook Pro (i7-4870HQ). I was trying to run a Debian 12 LxC on it but I found it is very slow. I.e, I tried to do a `apt-get install -y curl openssh-server ca-certificates perl` and it took forever. I checked out the matrix and only found the CPU usage is spotty and I don't think it is the bottleneck.
I tried to use a VM with Debian 12 with the same resource configuration and it is much better performance.
I have a N100 box and with the same version of proxmox on it. The same LXC configuration runs very smooth.

I don't know if there is any configuration can be tweaked (tho have not seen many). Does anyone have the same experience or not? So I know it is not recommended to run the LxC?

Thanks.

Maybe Network bottleneck? What on-board network hardware do you have and how is it set-up?

I am not able to use the wifi. SO I have an Amazon Basic usb - rj45 adapter. I am wondering if this is a disk issue
I am trying different templates. Seems like the problem is limited to the Ubuntu 2204 and Debian 12 so far. Centos9 and alpine checked out ok...
