Due to the I/O bottleneck on WSL, Docker was much faster when it came to the timed compilation tests. Docker on Windows 10 yielded roughly similar build speeds compared to the bare metal Linux numbers.
The C-Ray multi-threaded ray-tracing is quite interesting... Ubuntu on WSL was of similar performance to openSUSE, but when running C-Ray on Ubuntu both with Docker and then the bare metal install, it was significantly slower than openSUSE as well as Clear Linux.
The Primesieve prime number benchmark performed roughly the same across all three tested environments.
