Great, thanks! I'll check it out.

Unfortunately I've not had much luck getting pnpm or ied running on Windows due to the symlinking stuff (though the installation portion is super quick), so hopefully the speed improvements here can help lessen the blow a bit.

As an aside, why does npm check-in the node_modules folder into their repo?

I was under the impression this was generally considered bad practice, so it seemed weird seeing it done by the package manager itself :)
