The only file performance issues I've seen are when I try to work across the Windows and Linux file systems. I'm running a WSL2 Linux dev environment for my web developer bootcamp and as long as I'm not storing my project files on a Windows volume and accessing from Linux but instead working directly within my WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 distro file system, there is no file performance problem.
I'm a Systems Reliability and DevOps engineer for Netdata Inc. When not working, I enjoy studying linguistics and history, playing video games, and cooking all kinds of international cuisine.
Back when I originally posted, WSL2 was still in it’s infancy and did still have some limited file performance issues even inside the VM environment itself. All the experience I had at that point though was with WSL1, which demonstrably has serious filesystem performance issues (though not as bad now as they use dto be).
WSL2 today does indeed have essentially no performance issues for stuff contained in the VM environment itself, and only limited performance issues for access outside of that context.
