Two questions:

  • Does Windows Terminal launch automatically after boot?
  • After restarting your PC, does wsl.exe from the start menu start slowly?

I suspect you'll see that it also starts slowly if you start WSL from the start menu without Windows Terminal.
WSL is slow to start on the first launch after a while (or after a reboot) because WSL runs in a virtual machine which first needs to boot in the background. I suspect that you should notice that WSL launches a lot faster after you open it a second time.

Huh. That sounds like a WSL problem, not a Terminal one. You should probably report this over at https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues, thanks!
