I just tried it and I'm blown away and confused: why is Windows Terminal faster in an ubuntu tab (WSL1, in my case) than in a cmd.exe / powershell tab? I mean the exact same terminal window. Three tabs side by side. The ubuntu one is instantaneous and the others have short but noticeable lag.

This really surprises me.
