Doing partial prod builds under controlled conditions for comparison purposes. Cold caches, no shrinkwrap, 3 different package.json in a monorepo-type thing, 1797 dependencies installed, only npm install times shown:
- npm4: 406.01 seconds
- npm5: 60.96 seconds
This is a bit less speedup than what I got excited about yesterday, but still (a bit) more than 6 times faster! 🎆 🍻 ✨

(These are somewhat artificial numbers because the real build is *really* not set up for it — we traded off caching for other gains elsewhere, so prod builds are always cold-cached. But!)
Same controlled builds, with warmed caches instead:
- npm4: 137.14 seconds
- npm5: 56.01 seconds

Also, because I got asked this on twitter. Same setup as original tweet (cold cache, no lockfile, etc):
- yarn: 86.82 seconds
But as discussed (in various places previously): npm & yarn have different tradeoffs and models, and both are valid choices! In the end they both use the same npm registry :)
