Description

Today on Windows, docker container startup (HyperV-containers) seems to be dependent upon size of docker image.
This is not the case in Linux (not noticable at least).

Example on my machines:

docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0.203-nanoserver-1809 -> ca 4 sec startup

docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0.203-windowsservercore-ltsc2019 -> ca 15s startup.

This needs to be mitigated !
