Module load cost

Counted with a module.registerHooks load hook, compile cache disabled. Counts every JS module actually evaluated on that code path (built-ins excluded, native addons excluded).

Command	baseline v3.37.0 modules	head v3.37.0 modules	Delta	baseline v3.37.0 source bytes	head v3.37.0 source bytes	Delta
nuxt --version	38	38	0.0%	291.6 kB	291.6 kB	0.0%
nuxt --help	135	135	0.0%	972.6 kB	973.3 kB	+0.1%
nuxt dev --help	80	80	0.0%	581.9 kB	582.6 kB	+0.1%

Install footprint and published tarball

Each version installed on its own into an empty project with nothing but @nuxt/cli as a dependency, so the tree is exactly the CLI and its transitive dependencies. npm cache is warm and the registry is only consulted for metadata, so install wall time is indicative, not a network benchmark.

Metric	baseline v3.37.0	head v3.37.0	Delta
Direct dependencies of @nuxt/cli	21	21	0.0%
Packages in the installed tree (unique name@version)	34	34	0.0%
Unique package names	34	34	0.0%
Package directories on disk (cross-check)	28	28	0.0%
Installed node_modules on disk	2.31 MB	2.31 MB	+0.1%
Installed files	419	419	0.0%
Install wall time (warm npm cache, median of 3)	668 ms	662 ms	-1.0%
Published tarball (packed)	263.0 kB	263.4 kB	+0.1%
Published tarball (unpacked)	915.6 kB	916.8 kB	+0.1%
Files in tarball	131	131	0.0%

Interleaved runs on a shared runner: trust the deltas, not the absolute timings. The dev, restart and build suites run locally via pnpm bench:cli.
