Git Bash is really nice for when I want a unix utility that will do the job simpler and better than Powershell, however it's painfully slow for larger I/O operations.

I end up barely using it on my Windows 11 work machine because I'm allowed to have Linux VMs. Even with the VM overhead, and having fewer CPU cores and less RAM than the host, things still end up being way faster there.

I remember one time running a grep command on a large-ish (~ 1 GB) log file in Git Bash and waiting at least 5 minutes for it to complete. After getting impatient I did the same thing in a VM and it took about 30-45 seconds, at which point Git Bash still had not finished.

Did you use endpoint protection in both systems? In my experience, that is often a factor of performance issue on the Windows side (and an unfair comparison when it is not used on Linux)
