Great job in benchmarking! I wasn't even aware of the WSLc (WSL3) release. For others, the release info is available here: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases/tag/3.0.1

EDIT: stumbled on the previous HN post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49970507

Is it accurate to call this WSL3? WSL 2 was released in 2019, but WSL 2.0.0 was released in 2023 https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases/tag/2.0.0

That is quite relevant, and compose ability is on the way, or for some workloads Aspire would be an alternative I guess.

Unfortunately most companies are too cheap to pay for Docker Desktop, and having Windows containers depend on a third party tool has been a problem in such customers.

Because using Rancher Desktop or Podman isn't also a given, due to similar issues.
