Readme warning about large installation, maybe I'm doing it wrong? #8

First off, good stuff! I'm stoked to migrate from .worker to the new docker setup.

Working through the ruby example, I ran:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/worker -w /worker iron/images:ruby-2.1 sh -c 'ruby hello.rb -payload hello.payload.json -config hello.config.yml -id 123'

...which resulted in quite a few downloads totaling 400mb+. Looks like the readme says something to the effect of "doh, that didn't work", but I did not reach that point since I have a relatively slow connection at home (< 2mbs) and possibly canceled before getting there: screen shot 2015-03-30 at 11 55 55 pm

If that is not the case, it would probably be good to warn people about the size of the download.

Hi @jhendley25 , as with any Docker image, the first pull is slow since it's pulling a complete operating system down. Every time after should be fast though. Adding a note to the docs about it is probably a good idea though.

Ok cool, I'll definitely try again on a faster connection. Thanks for the heads up.
