Yep, it's a matter of RAM eating that in my case slows down everything (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8500 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz 16GB RAM). I think the docker deamon was roughly higher 98% consuption. Anyway, this thread (github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4166) exposes very well others' issues like this and i'm not sure if there's an official fix at the moment. However, /w 48GB RAM you have enough room to spare.

Ahh yeah 16GB is what I had for normal usage. I actually bought 32GB when I started working from home to avoid bottlenecks as I ran too many things at once and company didn't feel like testing in the cloud for money haha

What's worse is that even with 32GB I still experience some memory issues, it can easily start consuming 70-80% of system RAM with about 8 containers on my computer counting the VS instance
