Magit already has some basic support for libgit. Browsing the issues I get the impression that if someone made a reasonable pull request to support libgit2 for a few dozen methods (should be easy to prioritise based on profiling) then it would be accepted. I don’t think the maintainer wants to review pull requests for one function at a time. I think one issue is perhaps that windows performance isn’t a particularly high priority and changes may not be accepted if they degrade Linux performance.

Aside: isn’t process creation more reasonable with WSL? Or can you not easily use it?

In my experience WSL is overall much slower than cygwin.
