Code Review
This pull request adds a helpful troubleshooting tip for slow container startup with Podman. The new documentation explains the issue with the default vfs storage driver and recommends using overlayfs. My feedback includes a suggestion to make the instructions more explicit by mentioning the configuration file, which will make it easier for users to apply the fix.

I don't know anything about podman, but I trust you know what you're doing!
