Cordova plugin remove/add are taking very long

I have cordova 8.0.0 and I'm using cordova-android 7.1.

Everytime I run a command like 

cordova plugin remove ...
# or
cordova plugin add ...

The commands take 8+ minutes to end. I checked my network stats and I saw that node is downloading loads of things the whole time. Seems like it's fetching every plugin at every command.

Why is cordova doing that? It's slowing so much my development...

It seems to be a known issue. As stated here the only solution is to wait for Cordova 9 to be released. And it won't be until the end of the year at least...

So, I don't know why but I had some dependencies issues. The next time I ran npm i ... for another package, it took loads of time (as long as after every cordova command), and I got a message saying than more than one package has been updated.

Then the next cordova commands ran really faster.

So it seems that if you have some uninstalled npm packages in your package.json file, cordova 8.0.0 is downloading them at every command...
