WSL3 benchmarks show 5-60% speed gains over WSL2

Original: WSL3 Performance is about 5-60% faster than WSL2 depending on the workload

New benchmark results indicate that WSL3, the next version of Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux, runs roughly 5-60% faster than WSL2 depending on the workload. Developers interested in running Linux tools on Windows are weighing whether the performance improvements will translate into smoother builds, faster file operations and better overall day-to-day development performance.

Why now: Developer tools performance comparisons tend to spark debate, and a claimed improvement of up to 60% affects many Windows-based developers
