If you run Emacs on WSL it is way faster. Creating processes on Windows is more expensive compared to Linux. And magit suffers. You can use a Windows X11 serve

You can use a Windows X11 server for the GUI, but I think (?) there is native support for running GUI apps these days.
- omnicognate 5y agoI've tried it but it's unfortunately not viable for my use. The (large) codebase needs to be in an ntfs filesystem for reasons beyond my control. With WSL1 the process startup is even slower than starting windows git and with WSL2 the process startup is fast but the filesystem access is slow. In both cases it ends up much slower even than native windows git.
