Stan performance inside Virtual Machines

Hi Alberto,

We’ve seen that with WSL on Windows 10, Stan’s performance will actually be faster than in native Windows. The specifics were in this post: Large Cmdstan performance differences Windows vs. Linux

But that whole thread has more discussion of the performance differences between Windows & Linux.

Additionally, RStudio has a great guide on getting RStudio server setup on WSL so you can use RStudio through your web browser, but be running on the WSL backend: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049776974-Using-RStudio-Server-in-Windows-WSL2
