Are you counting download time as well? It took 8.30 sec on hexacore now when I tried it.

Nope, pure compile time on a Core i7-10750H with Windows and Rust 1.52.1, antivirus disabled. WSL did not make much of a difference though (29 seconds).

The Windows filesystem is extremely slow, even without WSL. It can be mitigated to some extent by using completion ports, but I doubt the Rust compiler is architectured that way--

You should benchmark against Linux as well.

cargo install on WSL2 uses the non-mapped home directory, which is on an ext4 virtual disk. That is probably one reason why it is six seconds faster.

There's your problem.

Even Microsoft concedes that Windows is legacy technology now.
