Ubuntu 14.04/16.04 vs. Ubuntu Bash On Windows 10 Anniversary Performance
The x264 results were another strange case similar to Stream where the best performance was actually with Ubuntu on Windows 10 via WSL!
The timed compilation benchmarks were heavily in favor of the bare metal Ubuntu Linux installations outside of Windows. This is likely due to these large program compilations requiring plenty of disk reads and from the earlier disk-focused benchmarks showing that is the big area where the Windows Subsystem for Linux is slow.
