Tbf 500ms latency on - IIRC - a loopback network connection in a test environment is a lot. It’s not hugely surprising that a curious engineer dug into that.
I’ve seen that claim a couple of places and would like a source. It very well may be since Microsoft prefers Debian based systems for WSL and for azure, but its not something I would have assumed by default
Don’t forget all of this was discovered because ssh was running 0.5 seconds slower
Half a second is a really, really long time.
Its toooo much bloat. There must be malware XD linux users at there peak!

Especially that it only took 300ms before and 800ms after
Is that from the Microsoft engineer or did he start from this observation?
From what I read it was this observation that led him to investigate the cause. But this is the first time I read that he’s employed by Microsoft.
