+### Minor Changes
+
+Added network performance monitoring to pnpm by implementing warnings for slow network requests, including both metadata fetches and tarball downloads.
+
+Added configuration options for warning thresholds: `fetchWarnTimeoutMs` and `fetchMinSpeedKiBps`.
+Warning messages are displayed when requests exceed time thresholds or fall below speed minimums
+
+Related PR: [#10025](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/pull/10025).
