I thought one of the main benefits of local development was speed but recently DevKinsta has become painfully slow. Is this a known problem with the application in general or something with my specific environment setup?

Thank you for sharing these details, can you please try to update Docker to the latest version (4.17.0), also please check in its settings if Kubernetes is enabled or not. If it is enabled, please try to disable it:

Hello John 🙂

Could you please try [this suggestion I posted](https://community.kinsta.com/t/devkinsta-super-slow-macbook-pro/2072/5) in the other thread before ( to enable **virtiofs** option in the Docker Desktop ), and see if that will also help to resolve the slowness issue on your Mac end?

Cheers,  
Agus

Hi @wpcreative-jw,  
something else you can try is to increase the resources granted to Docker. To do so, access Docker settings and move to the Resources tab, from there you will be able to grand more memory, CPUs etc
