This "linux subsystem" is like 5-10x slower than you make a Vitrualbox VM and run Ubuntu in it.
That assertion is inconsistent with most of the benchmarks I have seen, in which WSL is often faster than native Linux and rarely more than 5% slower.

P2pool is mostly just a CPU-bound task with very little disk IO and a small amount of network IO, so the poor results from code compiling should not manifest here.
