`npm install pouchdb` is extremely slow

I have a high-end computer and an internet connection with very fast download speeds. However, the following command consistently takes **19 seconds** to run in my computer:

```shell
time npm install pouchdb
```

By contrast, other packages (even non-trivial ones) install in about 1 second. The difference makes me concerned, as I don't see an inherent reason `pouchdb` should be quite this comparatively heavy to install.
