Over the course of the last several days I've been plagued with a couple pretty massive performance issues running MySQL under Docker(-compose) in our developer environments. Everyone in our office is running either a Mac or some flavor of Linux. In both cases I spent a couple of days search for a solution, running into several roadblocks, and exhausting many Google search terms. Since I had such a difficult time finding the solution, here are the symptoms I was seeing and what finally worked in our case, maybe it'll save someone else time.
