Have you tried it in WSL2 , to be honest everything I work with is real small. Simple web pages and markdown files..right now at least. So anything I do with the repos is super fast.

Yeap, I've tried. The issue that I've mentioned is not about kernel calls which is improved in WSL2, it's about file system management of windows(When accessing files in Windows drives).
(WSL2 makes me think about switching back to Windows. At least when microsoft leaves all old things except working ones)

Yes, I've tried. But the issue that I've mentioned is about Windows file system accesses. It can be tried with "git status" command to see Windows filesystem access methods are not as efficient as Linux's. WSL and WSL2 only provides system call optimizations.
( WSL is best second thing from Microsoft after VS Code, I appreciate MS. And thank you for a grate post)
