I don't know if it's crap but it's much much slower than EXT4.

I remember reading a comment here that Windows in a VM on a Linux host was faster than bare metal.

Probably not true but I decided to make a test. I have a .net core app that insert data in a sqlite db (the resulting db is about 300 GB).

So I benchmarked this app on Linux (it was previously running on Windows) and IIRC it ran about 4 times faster.

An interesting observation I did was that even Hello World is about 100x faster on Linux than on Windows.

In my Linux VM I had to use the time command to even have an idea of how long it took, as it seemed to return immediately. I think 5-15ms but it already a while ago.

On the Windows machine where the Linux VM ran it took several hundred ms.

Which VM software did you use under windows?

Probably VirtualBox, could have been Hyper-V.
