Cygwin is A LOT faster. WSL2 has crap IO when accessing /mnt/c/ et. al. It's about 5-10x slower. Ofc. it's a different story if you're rsyncing stuff inside the wls filesystem but I think most people are looking for using rsync on their windowsland files

I'm not sure I'd recommend rsync on wls. IO between wls and windows is pretty atrocious atm

It's been 6 years, things have changed a bit. Here's a new note.
