First of all, thanks for taking the time to mention this! To answer your question, there are a number of reasons why performance could be impacted, but my best guess without any context is that you are working on files across the file systems. Here is a resource that explains this issue in more depth. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/w...
The recommendation is to store files in the Linux file system if you are working in the Linux terminal. I will add this as a disclaimer in the article!
Thanks for the suggestion; though I did already dismiss that particular cause. In the end trying to get WSL working reminded me why I ditched Windows for development work in the first place. I much prefer Linux; so I guess I'll just stick with my VM :)
