Speed
pnpm is 10 times faster than npm and 30% faster than Yarn. See benchmarks here.

Packages are saved once per machine. Pnpm never copies, always links. It saves dozens of gigabytes of disk space!
pnpm doesn't focus on the reimplementation of other package manager's flaws, like flat dependency trees. But it does focus on complete Node.js compatibility.
pnpm's algorithms are a lot easier than other Node.js package manager's. pnpm doesn't try to replicate the complex algorithms used by npm and yarn for deduplication. pnpm's node_modules design has a sane structure without the problems that npm@2 had.
Between npm and yarn, I've been very happy using *pnpm* lately https://t.co/HkXnR97wlZ simple, very fast, space efficient, unobtrusive

Simple and genius idea, so that you always will wonder why you didn't think of it yourself https://t.co/jIMa2U4yym @pnpmjs (but, pruning?)

I've been long advocating for @pnpmjs — it's like a hidden gem in Node ecosystem. Try it, it is mature and performant. https://t.co/ie91RMYlSP

@wmhilton @yarnpkg @pnpmjs just installed it and it worked like a charm. I'm impressed!
