Greetings, Running Local 5.9.3 and everything works as expected.

Connecting to the Local database from Windows WSL. When using WP-CLI in WSL, I can connect with DB\_HOST defined in a .yml file:  
`define('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1:{PORT}');`

The DB queries from WP-CLI are very slow; about 8X slower than expected. Can anyone suggest a way to debug or correct this problem? Thanks…
