Does Weave still have atrocious network performance?
For now, yes. https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/issues/1925 https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/issues/1931
The developers are friendly, helpful and responsive. But in my testing, Weave simply wasn't adequate. I hope they'll get there.

Without encryption, Weave Net uses the same VXLAN technology as Docker Overlay; goes at close to native speed.
