The problem is, this file system slow down really affects the productivity.

For example, I have a heavily customized Zsh and Neovim. In Linux, using a SSD and the startup times for both are insignificant. Even on my system with a slow HDD (5400RPM) the startup times are not bad unless my system is under heavy IO.

In WSL inside a Windows setup with SSD, the startup time takes half a second, hardly worst than my Linux setup with HDD! Not only startup times are bad, tab completion sometimes take multiple seconds to complete. This is unacceptable, specially considering a system running on SSD.

So while I concur his CI times are bad either way, this slow in files system is really bad in WSL.
