 Docker does not include a separate operating system and piggy backs off the system it runs on.  Docker therefore needs to also run preloaded emulation software so there is overhead.  In LXC there is no preloaded emulation manager software so it runs with no added overhead; and this is why LXC is faster than docker. Docker does not include a separate operating system and piggy backs off the system it runs on.  Docker therefore needs to also run preloaded emulation software so there is overhead.  In LXC there is no preloaded emulation manager software so it runs with no added overhead; and this is why LXC is faster than docker.
