Interesting, I've never had an issue with WSL1 startup time. Meanwhile WSL2 startup time is supposed to be strictly greater due to its use of a VM. Maybe you have a configuration issue?

I would hope it is not a new VM each time?

I would think not, but the point is that it has to be booted at some point (whereas that wasn't a concern with WSL1)

It boot pretty fast, just 2 seconds here.
