This issue doesn’t seem related to pnpm. I don’t know any reason why pnpm in the past would’ve been faster on slow connections. I don’t think we have changed anything in this regard.

The easiest way to reduce the amount of network requests is setting prefer-offline to true. This will drastically reduce the amount of requests.

You can also reduce the amount of simultaneous requests by setting network-requests to something smaller than 16.

Could you try your commands using NPM and see if it’s faster?

I haven’t used npm for years now, I don’t know what to expect.

The time spent in “resolve” stage mostly depends on network quality, and the download is parallel, it’s no reason that slow.
