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.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
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.
