   just hacking around a bit, applied this diff (orbstack dependent!):

   and saw the following result for time vagrant up salt-master:

   Before:

   real	7m35.815s
   user	0m2.657s
   sys	0m1.049s
   

   After (after docker compose uping the cache container and running once to fill up the cache):

   real	5m18.678s
   user	0m2.630s
   sys	0m1.027s
   

   So the potential win is pretty clear given that the "Before" is basically best case when ports is behaving, but I have some concerns about how to do this more ergonomically. Currently needing to docker compose up and remember to do so is kind of a pain and isn't "built in". If you forget to the whole thing fails kinda miserably. Also it's relying on orbstack magic DNS to make the container discoverable... which isn't ideal.
