Description
Type: Bug
With recent update to either WSL or vscode the terminal seems extremely laggy (multiple seconds to CTRL-C) in a wsl session. I tried windows terminal that's fine. I tried non WSL vscode terminals those seem fine as well so I assume it's the WSL integration, but might be base vscode related.
Even running ls takes multiple seconds to complete, the output is instant the exiting of the program is what seems to take long.
