Are you using old PowerShell or the newer Open Source PowerShell 6/7? Try also running it from Terminal, the official modern terminal app from the store. It's much faster than bare cmd or PowerShell, IIRC it's because of conhost.
It is because of conhost. You can actually replace the default Windows one with the new OpenConsole and it makes your entire PC faster. Kinda neat.
Wait, what?
But only on Windows 11, unfortunately.
For me the new Terminal app is much slower than something like Cmder (ConEmu)
