Some real benchmarks on Bun (compared with Node) -- It only wins sometimes, but it's mostly a fail (www.youtube.com)

Piped

Great watch but to summarize:

  • Bun beats Node/Yarn for package installation

  • Somewhat better API/DX in some ways.

  • Loses poorly in testing performance

  • Tons of incompatibility issues/performance issues in other areas.

General summary: Just don't use Bun yet, seems like it needs some more time in the oven.

I don't understand it either.

I've only had issues with npm speeds when the projects were stored in a HDD, and that's not node's fault.
