How well does it handle a large amount of writes to small files (say 1000 files, each about 8KB)?

Edit: the static blog generator I wrote [1] takes 11 seconds inside a Ubuntu virtual machine with the directory shared with MacOS on an Mac mini late 2014. Docker, on the same machine, takes 1m13 seconds using gRPC FUSE for file sharing. 1866 HTML files are being generated.

I have no idea I'm afraid, I don't work on anything that would ever do something like that. As a real world benchmark, the project I'm working on at the moment (Python / Django) runs the test suite in ~10.2 seconds on my Mac inside Docker, on GitHub CI it takes 35 seconds.

I'd be interested to know how quickly that runs natively on your mac.
