I was under the impression that WSL2 runs on the actual hardware with only the hypervisor as overhead, and so it should run nearly as fast as the real thing. I haven't noticed particularly slow performance, but it could just be that I haven't looked into it enough.

WSL 2 itself is fast but any GUI tooling around it is slow. Vscode for example needs to start a remote server inside wsl to do anything.
