Disk or network access speed is slow from Lima 0.15

Description

The processing speed of the PHP web application on Rancher Desktop(Lima) in the local development environment has dropped more than 10 times from Rancher Desktop 1.8. Specifically, it has been slow since this PR (which upgrades Lima to 0.15) was merged into Rancher Desktop.

I don't know which PR of Lima 0.15 is affecting it.

Is Xdebug on in your container? If so, does turning it off improve performance?

I also had a recent significant performance degradation with PHP that I've had a hard time troubleshooting, and turning Xdebug off helped a lot.

My setup is quite different, so my issue may not be related.

Is Xdebug on in your container?

Yes.

I tried and it worked. The performance is as it was with Rancher Desktop 1.7 Xdebug on. Thank you for the information.

Previously, with Rancher Desktop Ver.1.7(Lima v0.14.2), I didn't have any problems even if it was Xdebug on ...
