Docker Desktop on Windows performance

Hello Wapplers,

Recently I’ve finished to develop a small internal tool (NodeJS + Docker + PostgreSQL) for our company and figured out interesting fact regarding Docker Desktop performance comparing to pure-native Docker on Linux.

I’ve executed same API on my development computer (Windows 10 x64 i7-10700K, 32GB RAM) and on virtual Linux (CentOS 7, 2GB RAM, 2vCPU) to proceed with 1300 entries - several repeats, variables, etc.

On Windows - 132 seconds
On Linux - 38 seconds.

On my development machines I have WSL based and Use Docker compose V2 enabled.

I’ve spoke with our Linux engineers and they told that even with WSL 2 developed by Microsoft - Linux on Windows is slow.

@Teodor @George what’s your thoughts about it? Is there any options to tune up Docker performance on Windows?
