Sysbench fileio performance

Hi,

i run sysbench tool (sysbench fileio --file-test-mode=seqwr run) within docker container and on host pc. The results are below.

HOST PC

sysbench --test=fileio --file-test-mode=seqwr --max-time=10 --file-total-size=4G run

sysbench 0.4.12: multi-threaded system evaluation benchmark
Running the test with following options:

There is drastic difference on write performance.

The Host PC specs are:

What could be the problem? Am i doing something wrong?
