Question: Would using R inside Docker on one of these Macs work somewhat well?

Previous benchmarks[0] show that the overhead on Intel Macbooks for the Docker Linux VM is quite low for scientific computing.

Would the x86 emulation hurt performance substantially or is there some other issue with this approach?
