High CPU, memory, swap usage, freezes with fnm compared to nvm

[mifkys]

Good day. I am faced with a very strange situation. Node.js 20 LTS is installed on Debian 12 via fnm. Everything was fine until it was necessary to deploy on the server a new project written in Nest in nx. When trying to install the node_modules via "npm i" at the stage
"run [email protected] postinstall node_modules/nx node ./bin/post-install" the system starts to devour 100% of the processor, the memory and swap are completely clogged. All this goes on for a long time (I waited for 15-20-30 minutes) and does not end with anything. I tried installing node via fnm, both under a regular user and under a root - the result is the same. Only forcibly terminate the command helps me.

After that, I decided to try installing node.js via nvm. When executing the same "npm i" command, the installation of the node_modules was successful after 5 minutes. CPU and memory usage was also high, but it went down after a few minutes.

Debian 12 x64
1 GB RAM
1 GB SWAP
