@all, don't confuse virtual with private memory in task manager etc, and don't need e.g wslimit plugin if not experiencing ill effects. Some do, sure, but just looking at task manager default views isn't how to tell. The plugin was made with that in mind.
To summerize, v2.x has reportedly some OS page-cache issues, giving some users problems, and slower file-checking and network-drives issues, and speed in some reports often same or faster on 1.2.x, and practically only downside of 1.2.x is a chunk of _actual_ memory reserved(disk cache), useful or not.
