Yes indeed. WSL 2 launched a few weeks ago with the latest Windows 10 version, and it has different sort of filesystem setup. WSL 1 had a Linux-like view of some subdirectory of the host NTFS filesystem, so all the fs IO went through Windows kernel. In WSL 2, there's an ext4 image instead, so filesystem access is essentially as fast as with any Linux system in a virtual machine.
