We have a continuous integration server, which performs a clean build for every change. It starts the build with the npm i command. And on every such command puppeteer downloads the Chromium binary and unpacks it. This takes a lot of time and bandwidth. I believe this is sub-optimal and can be improved.

Much better flow would be to cache the downloaded binary somewhere and on install only unpack the archive.
