I'd be interested more if they fixed the NTFS performance issues MFT contention on small files. That would have massive platform benefits.

But the problem is it's hard and they already forked off ReFS and didn't fix anything really with that.

It is more then just "MFT contention". Lots of time are spend on other parts of the kernel:

My issue is across the whole windows platform not just WSL. If you check large repos out on windows native it sucks too. Rather than just fixing WSL and declaring victory they should fix the NTFS problem.
