Description

I've observed that running ni-python-styleguide on the same codebase on Windows runs much slower than on Linux (WSL). It appears that ni-python-styleguide better utilizes all cores/threads when running on WSL while Windows seems to just run single-threaded.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the same ni-python-styleguide run on Windows and WSL against the same codebase, then compare how execution uses cores or threads. Done means identifying the platform-specific cause and establishing comparable performance or documenting a confirmed limitation.
