Postgres Queries Are Slow Inside Docker on macOS

Postgres queries that should complete in milliseconds take 300ms+ when the database runs inside Docker on macOS. The problem persists even with proper indexes in place, pointing to I/O virtualization overhead in the Docker-for-Mac file system layer. This forces developers to either run Postgres natively or accept unreliable local performance benchmarks.
