Is it normal for sail/docker to be slow on windows 11?

I'm used to using xampp which is virtually instant (loaded before I can alt+tab)

I decided to move to docker for the ease of installing all my dependencies but it's taking about 4 seconds to load which I know isn't long but it's really annoying having to wait all the time

is this normal?

It's the issue with WSL no sail. And unfortunately it's the normal way.

@jackjones No. I use Sail to run projects and responses are in milliseconds. It shouldn’t be taking four seconds to render a page.

How much memory does you computer have and how much is used by docker ?
