Probably you have your code on the Windoes machine like in

C:\\Users\YourName\projects\blahfu

But you're using docker on WSL 2 which is then on another filesystem. So if you do a docker build you got all the code/context copied from Windowsfilesystem to Linux filesystem and then from there to the docker container. This takes it's most of hte time and is incredibly slow.

Try to put your project into

/home/YouName/projects/blahfu

This should give quite a performance boost.
