Hm. I used Git on WSL1 for many years, with medium sized repos hosted on a Windows drive, and it worked great. When I moved to WSL2 Git became a whole lot slower - it now takes about 5-8 secs to execute 'git status' where before it was instant.

Are your git repos in ntfs? WSL1 Linux drives are slow and in WSL2 Ntfs.

Yes, exactly, this is well known. So the parent post seems incorrect.
