I use a lot of private node packages (stored on my personal github repositories) in my projects:

"devDependencies": {
  ...
  "my-package": "github:username/my-package#master"
  ...
}

my issues is that, when updating a project or when running npm install, the process takes so long (~ 2 mins), while it's stuck doing something like:

reify:my-package: timing reify:loadBundles Completed in 0ms

Is there anything I can do to speed up the processes when using private repos?

Thanks
