Still might want to try playing with the watch settings. Especially if you are editing files from the host (rather than in the container).

I don’t know that much about it as I only use Windows to play games on but maybe this post from @strarsis might be helpful?

> @roryheaney: WSL 1 has faster cross-file system I/O than WSL 2, but it lacks lots of compatibility features, but even with WSL 1 the performance is still noticeably reduced when accessing the windows file system from within. I have tried lots of things in the past, also before containers and WSL 1/2: VM with samba share, VM with NFS share, VM with Samba share and OverlayFS with vendor/non-code parts mounted from the Linux file system, rsync adapter, etc. But it is always slow, no performant so…

There is more information on the Discourse that is relevant to your problem if you search. I hope you get it sorted; sorry I can’t be more help.
