WSL1 is the choice to go for if you want to have good performance across OS file systems! Check out the Comparing WSL 2 and WSL 1 on Microsoft Docs for which WSL version suits your use-case the best, since for now, Microsoft has indicated that both projects will be kept alive separately.

Thanks, I think for now I'll stick with wsl2 and run from the Linux system. I was just shocked when I was caught out by the initial slow performance.
