"load metadata for" during docker pull hangs for about 10-20 seconds
I checked the steps described in https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/ and I did the "purge data" and "reset to factory settings" options. Neither fixed my issue. I used to have none of these pauses using Docker on WSL2. I'd run "docker pull" or "docker build" and it would begin immediately. I'm not sure if it's the latest update for me (this is a fresh Windows 10 install) that's causing this, but now it's very slow when I start. When I run `docker pull postgres` it hangs on `Using default tag: latest` for about 10 seconds. It also hangs this way when I run `docker pull postgre` (a non-existent image) it still has the pause. So I'm thinking it might be related to DNS. When I tried doing a build I saw this happen again, because now my build output is different. It shows more steps and has color. The very first step mentioned getting metadata, and that step always took 10 seconds:  After the step finishes, the rest proceeds quickly. Since I'm caching Python dependencies, the rest finishes instantly since it just has to copy in my changed source code files, but I still have to wait that 10 seconds each time:  My Dockerfile, for reference: ```Dockerfile FROM python:3.9-buster ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 \ POETRY_HOME=/opt/poetry \ POETRY
