I can’t find any benchmarks on this, anyone have a sense of the speedup that can be expected here?

And for what it’s worth, that version isn’t available yet when I try to update WSL.

wsl version 2.7.7 seemed to work with the listed config + reboot

a test compile of hugo (moderate go app) on a AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS with SSD

WSL filesystem = 50s

virtiofs = 75s

it seems a lot faster. I don't use drvfs (windows files) usually. 50% performance gap is good.

And MS Defender kicked in beforehand losing about 10 seconds. with some config you could turn off defender and get this down to 60s
