How is the state of Magit on MS-Windows? For me it's unusably(!)
slow with a 3-4 GB repository. What is the best way to run Emacs on Windows? I'm using
cygwin because I need so many unix tools anyway.
For me, emax64 works perfectly in Windows, although I don't use magit on it. Beyond magit, I see no difference between my Windows and my Linux emacs usage.
For reference, a full checkout of the linux kernel is 2.5GB.
It's an old long SVN repository with a lot of files. I would like to split it in two SVN repos but that would destroy their history. Any ideas?

It's actually very OK with git in cygwin-bash.
I don't remember how the performance was in WSL1 (I switched as soon as WSL2 was in the insider build, for unrelated reasons), but I vaguely remember it worked ok, as in performance was snappy just like on native linux. (The repo is of comparable size, 2-4GB)
