I would encourage you to at least consider that your issue is a bug or perhaps a wsl version issue rather than throw your hands up and point to a conclusion from years ago that windows is a pretty toy and just not up to the task.

I'm not much of a Windows fan but I do understand the usefulness and convenience of having a linux dev environment when forced to use windows for one reason or another.

I normally install VirtualBox. It runs just fine and has not ever had a lag problem. I didn't install VirtualBox, opting to use WSL instead (Ubuntu).

Normally such a lag is due to paging. But paging lag has a "blocky" kind of update, long lag then fast update. This problem seems to be more about event handling (more about that in another reply) as it occurs on every character.
