After installing some modules through the npm install command, opening a folder in the Finder or in an IDE (Atom or Sublime) has become very painful and time-consuming.

It seems that the problem may be related to the size of the folder, but when comparing with other folders this does not make sense, because even opening other folders with a huge amount of applications does not occur the same.
