Hello *,
Even though WSL may eventually address this issue for good, I've setup
a new WSL-optimised flavour of my PPA for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc
over at
https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc-wsl
I don't have experience myself with Ubuntu on WSL, but it should be
simply a matter of using
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hvr/ghc-wsl
sudo apt-get update
and then
sudo apt-get install ghc-8.2.2-prof cabal-install-head
Then simply add `/opt/ghc/bin` to your `$PATH` (see instructions at
https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc )
There are also builds of GHC 8.0.2 and GHC 8.4.1-alpha (may still be
building as of writing) in this new ghc-for-wsl PPA.
I'd appreciate if somebody could test whether these GHC binaries work
as intended on the non-insider Windows 10 builds and let me know.
Cheers,
Herbert

Thank you! A simpler fix for WSL ghc users is upgrading to fast ring of insider builds, the mmap overhead is much lower and ghc startup lag is barely noticable.
Thanks, that's good news. I can't use an insider build - I need to be on standard Windows in order to support our customers. The latest reports in the GitHub issue seemed to indicate that the slowness is still quite significant even on insider builds. I'm glad to hear you say that this is no longer true. I am looking forward to regular GHC binary tarballs working normally on regular WSL sometime in the near future.
