Counted with a module.registerHooks load hook, compile cache disabled. Counts every JS module actually evaluated on that code path (built-ins excluded, native addons excluded).

Install footprint and published tarball
Each version installed on its own into an empty project with nothing but @nuxt/cli as a dependency, so the tree is exactly the CLI and its transitive dependencies. npm cache is warm and the registry is only consulted for metadata, so install wall time is indicative, not a network benchmark.

Interleaved runs on a shared runner: trust the deltas, not the absolute timings. The dev, restart and build suites run locally via pnpm bench:cli.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Make stopReporting idempotent and assign it before subscribing.
BuildProgress.onUpdate invokes reporter.update immediately and returns the unsubscribe function only after that call. Because stopReporting is still a no-op during progress.onUpdate(...), an exception from the initial update leaves the reporter's timer and output interception active. The finally block cannot clean them up.
The success path also calls stopReporting() at Line 139 and Line 161, so the same reporter is stopped twice. Define the cleanup closure before subscribing and guard it with a one-shot flag.
Proposed fix
if (ctx.args.logLevel !== 'silent') {
const reporter = createPhaseReporter({ heartbeat: HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL })
- const unsubscribe = progress.onUpdate(reporter.update)
+ let unsubscribe: (() => void) | undefined
+ let stopped = false
stopReporting = () => {
- unsubscribe()
+ if (stopped) {
+ return
+ }
+ stopped = true
+ unsubscribe?.()
reporter.stop()
}
+ unsubscribe = progress.onUpdate(reporter.update)
}Also applies to: 139-161
