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
more or less this is what I ran to benchmark
