Could you expand? I never understood why this was considered acceptable, how is windows filesystem so slow compared to linux?
I am familiar with the issue, doing any sort of ruby development is a nightmare on windows because each require loads a file becoming increasingly slow at boot time
- torginus 4mo agoWSL2 operates through a file-level translation layer, not unlike NFS in Linux, which can be a huge performance problem for programs that manipulate lots of tiny files, like git or npm.
- NoGravitas 4mo agoPrograms that manipulate lots of tiny files are a performance nightmare on Windows even leaving aside the issue of WSL2.
