I think it bypassed windows filesystem filters (antivirus, etc) and thus faster because there is nothing taxing your read/write operations.

It least with WSL1 I know that McShield and cyvera/Traps are fully capable of massively interfering with linux performance under windows 10 just like they do normally. Whether they actually effective is not something I know but it seems like they understand ELF files.

The WSL2 kernel at this time cannot access ext4 partitions natively. Only partitions available in Windows can be mounted in WSL2. So that means installing ext4 drivers...

WSL2 itself uses a virtual file system.
