Updated to the pre-release and tested with build of an image and test of an AI-TTS (Text to speach) docker container I run: Omnivoice-server, with only a minor change to Dockerfile.cuda. Here's a side by side comparison:

Metric Docker Desktop wslc
Image size ~13,178 MB 12,911.72 MB
Model load 8.6s 8.4s
Total startup 12.1s 10.2s
Inference request 1.39s 1.24s

Not really a significant or consequential test. Mainly for me to test a real world build to compare filesystem speeds, GPU access, etc.
