Description

Your benchmark doesn't packages which require native compilation.
Try to depend on truffle, for example. it depends on quite a few native modules.
NPM compiles them one by one. Yarn opens multiple parallel processes to compile, and achieves great efficiency.

Moreover, since re-install often requires to compile such native modules again (I don't really know why, but both NPM and Yarn do it) , the above compilation times affect not only initial installs but also re-installs.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing benchmark cases and how they install packages, then compare the npm and Yarn behavior described in the issue using truffle as a dependency. Done means the benchmark includes native-module compilation for both initial installs and reinstalls, with the results recorded for comparison.
