Startup performance

We have a large monorepo (50+ Maven projects). We want to use VS Code dev containers for local development, but it takes forever to start up (i.e., import projects, etc.).

For context, our laptops are running Windows 11 and we're using Podman Desktop with WSL as the container host. We are using volumes rather than the default bind mount, which has improved performance. We are building the images locally which also decreases the time it takes to create or rebuild a dev container.

On a fresh volume the initial import takes a very long time. Maybe 2 hours? Just a guess. Reloading the window or rebuilding the container also takes a long time. Maybe 30 minutes - 1 hour?

Is this expected? Is there anything we can do to improve performance?

En el issue no se identifican archivos, pruebas ni puntos de entrada específicos. Comienza reproduciendo los escenarios descritos para los más de 50 proyectos Maven: importación en un volumen nuevo, recarga de la ventana y reconstrucción del contenedor. Después, identifica en qué se emplea el tiempo de inicio y documenta si el rendimiento es el esperado y qué mejora medible contaría como trabajo terminado.
