Description

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Feature request. Not substantial (as far as I can guess).

What is the current behavior? After running yarn install, yarn reports on the time taken by the installation - Done in Xs.

What is the (desired) behavior? It should also report on the bandwidth usage.

I'm on a bandwidth budget, and I decided to adopt yarn after learning that it actually uses the local cache, without the user having to resort to odd hacks (as in this npm issue).

I suspect that there are others who switched for the same reason. This feedback is useful for us, and fits nicely with the current completion report.

Research direction
The issue is on the frozen yarn 1.x repository. To implement, first understand how the 'Done in Xs' message is generated in the source code (likely in the core install module). Then, since yarn 1.x is no longer active, the feature should be proposed for yarn 2/berry (github.com/yarnpkg/berry). Research berry's architecture and how to add a similar metric. Check if there are any related discussions in the berry repository.
