Description

### Feature description

For TLGCatalog, the whole workflow took 32 mins out of which 15 min is consumed on package installation. Let's try to optimize it. `pak` is supposed to be much faster than `remotes` used in `devtools`.

manual: https://pak.r-lib.org/reference/local_install_dev_deps.html

As an extra: `pak` supports [caching](https://pak.r-lib.org/reference/cache.html) which could also speed up the overall installation (something not available currently).
