Thank you all! I needed a few steps here that were mentioned on aka.ms/wsl2-install :
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart (restart) wsl --set-default-version 2 wsl --set-version Ubuntu 2 (the last bit took a while to convert an existing install to WSL2) It's now a lot more in line with the performance I'd expect: sage: P2.<X,Y,Z>=ProjectiveSpace(QQ,2) sage: C=Curve(X^4+Y^4+Z^4) sage: S=C.riemann_surface() sage: %time S.riemann_matrix() On my linux laptop: CPU times: user 532 ms, sys: 68.9 ms, total: 601 ms Wall time: 678 ms On the Surface: CPU times: user 967 ms, sys: 0 ns, total: 967 ms Wall time: 1.18 s That performance is al least comparable, and could easily be because the CPU on the Surface is throttled or somehow a much less capable "core i5" than my laptop has (Intel really has made it impossible to tell from their serial numbers nowadays). So with this in place, I'd say: running sage on WSL2 on Windows is quite a reasonable solution; WSL1 is not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
