Is it? I'm pretty sure WSL is much faster if your workflow allows putting files on Linux filesystem, but I also recall that perf in shared Windows folders felt about the same (bad, but not even worse) when I switched from msys git to WSL. But haven't used Windows in years, so memory could be bad.
- chasil 3y agoI have heard elsewhere that WSL is much faster with fork(). Cygwin is roughly 100x slower with forking than Linux on the same hardware. I understand that Postgres benefits greatly in running under the WSL for this reason.
