10 years ago, on the exact same hardware, running a Rails application test suite in a Linux VM through VirtualBox was nearly 2x faster than running natively on the Windows side of things. This must be a combination of things, namely Ruby on Windows was super slow back then, but the filesystem impacted things as well.

10 years ago WSL didn't even exist.
Also, Ruby on Windows has always been an afterthought with a lot of dumb bugs, incomprehensible setup requirements, and terrible performance. Ruby is the biggest reason I use WSL today.
