Benchmarks of npm, pnpm, yarn, and shrinkpack install times.
I ran these to understand roughly how well shrinkpack performs, please also see the Benchmarks maintained by pnpm (https://pnpm.io/benchmarks) and yarn (https://yarnpkg.com/benchmarks).
npm install -g npm@8.3.0
npm install -g pnpm@6.24.4
npm install -g shrinkpack@0.19.0
npm install -g yarn@1.22.17
git clone https://github.com/JamieMason/npm-cache-benchmark.git
cd npm-cache-benchmark
