  Then there’s NTFS behind that. Just use a VM. Ten times faster.

    Ten times faster at what? Do you have any benchmarks?

      Writing and reading lots of small files on disk. Which is basically what 90% of Unixes are.

    For what I am using it for, a VM is not faster than WSL. Maybe in the early days, but not now.
