[BUG] Installing certain packages is extremely slow

[bbrk24]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

Currently, my package.json specifies "typescript": "^5.0.2". When I change it to say "typescript": "^5.0.3", npm 9 spins for 4:28 before deciding it doesn't exist. For comparison, npm 8 installs it with no problem in 0:44.

Ironically, I can't upgrade npm to 9.6 due to this issue: npm 9.5.1 times out when I run npm i -g npm.

Expected Behavior

npm 9 should be able to locate and download these versions with similar performance to npm 8.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Have a project with a v2 lockfile and TypeScript 5.0.2
2. Install node 18.16.0 with npm 9.5.1
3. Update the package.json to request TypeScript 5.0.3 or newer
4. Run npm i

Environment

• npm: 9.5.1
• Node.js: 18.16.0
• OS Name: Windows 10
• System Model Name: Maingear Vector 2
• npm config:

; "user" config from C:\Users\bbrk2\.npmrc

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken = (protected) 

; node bin location = C:\Users\bbrk2\.nvm\versions\node\v18.16.0\bin\node.exe
; node version = v18.16.0
; npm local prefix = C:\Users\bbrk2\[REDACTED]
; npm version = 9.5.1
; cwd = C:\Users\bbrk2\[REDACTED]
; HOME = C:\Users\bbrk2
; Run `npm config ls -l` to show all defaults.
