> We observed during some scale testing that we do internally.
> When launching 300+ Docker containers on a single agent box, it's possible that the Docker containerizer actor gets backlogged. As a result, API processing like `GET_CONTAINERS` will become unresponsive. It'll also block Mesos containerizer from launching containers if one specified `--containers=docker,mesos` because Docker containerizer launch will be invoked first by the composing containerizer (and queued).
> Profiling results show that the bottleneck is `os::killtree`, which will be invoked when the Docker commands are discarded (e.g., client disconnect, etc.).
> For this particular case, killtree is not really necessary because the docker command does not fork additional subprocesses. If we use the argv version of `subprocess` to launch docker commands, we can simply use os::kill instead. We confirmed that, by switching to os::kill, the performance issues goes away, and the agent can easily scale up to 300+ containers.
