 ### Real-World Impact
 
-For a typical web application:
+#### Installation Time
 
-```ts
-// Bundle size impact
-import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker' // +350KB
-import { faker } from 'nanofaker' // +50KB
+```bash
+# @faker-js/faker
+npm install @faker-js/faker  # Downloads 4.29 MB
+Time: ~2-3 seconds
+
+# nanofaker
+npm install nanofaker  # Downloads 174 KB
+Time: ~0.3 seconds
 
-// Savings: 300KB = Faster page loads!
+# Savings: 4.12 MB (96% reduction), ~2.5 seconds faster
 ```
 
+#### CI/CD Bandwidth
+
+For projects with frequent builds:
+
+```bash
+# 100 CI runs per day
+@faker-js/faker: 100 × 4.29 MB = 429 MB/day
+nanofaker: 100 × 174 KB = 17.4 MB/day
+
+# Monthly bandwidth savings: ~12.3 GB (96% reduction)
+```
+
+#### Development Experience
+
+Smaller package means:
+- ✅ Faster `npm install` / `bun install`
+- ✅ Faster module resolution
+- ✅ Less disk space usage
+- ✅ Faster Docker image builds
+- ✅ Better tree-shaking potential
