Comment (by netweb):

 A couple of things, NPM 5 is due out tomorrow, it purportedly has a
 massive performance increase comparable to Yarn,
 https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/16244

 Yarn also includes a yet to be
 [https://github.com/yarnpkg/website/issues/378 undocumented] `--frozen-
 lockfile` option, this sounds as if (further research required) it might
 be a good way in keeping `package.json`,  `yarn.lock` and `npm-
 shrinkwrap.json` in sync with each other.

 Npm vs Yarn Performance stats:

 ''It'll be interesting in the coming days to run some performance tests
 here for our use case''
