Maybe the whole setup is wrong but imagine your task is to model a system, or set of systems using Docker, where exact system configuraton can be tricky.

The workflow resulting from it seems like series of making small changes, waiting analysing logs,changes, waiting.. seems like during an hour work you could manage several iterations, but waiting is mind-boggling, though it already takes place on top of base images and inside-container work is done as well to try out things. Additionally, often this work can block many others.

Question: how to speed up this process? Do you guys use powerful appliances to reduce the cycle periods which is in term of lean manufacturing a clear *waste* given cost of systems compated to human time (imagine any change would be fire back always in just one second)? Or is the workflow wrong?
