Benchmarks
During the early days of this plugin, @fgrehm wrote a blog post with some benchmarks on the time that was cut down by using the plugin. If you are interested on the numbers only, the projects tested were one of vagrant-lxc's Ubuntu dev box, rails-dev-box, his own rails-base-box and Discourse's dev box
| First provision | Second provision | Diff. | APT cache | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rails-dev-box | 4m45s | 3m20s | ~29% | 66mb |
| rails-base-box | 11m56s | 7m54s | ~34% | 77mb |
| vagrant-lxc | 10m16s | 5m9s | ~50% | 124mb |
| discourse | 1m41s | 49s | ~51% | 62mb |
| _Please note that the tests were made on May 24th 2013 and nowadays they might | ||||
| be a bit different_ |
Some people have shared their numbers on Twitter and had experienced even better results:
Holy cow... If you dig Vagrant, and like time - you need Vagrant Cachier. 60% speed increase for me. https://t.co/225jRH7bDa @vagrantup

Tested vagrant-cachier. Saved 60% of vagrant up time installing 10 rpms with chef. Pretty awesome. Check it out! github.com/fgrehm/vagrant…

vagrant-cachier took my vagrant spin up from 30 to 5 minutes and reduced my caffeine intake by 3 cups http://t.co/V0uYpr3U0y
