What could be the cause?

It's certainly not fast -- and I changed bower2nix to get all dependencies in sequence rather than in parallel because it's more reliable.

But for the example I am getting results more like 15 seconds.

$ time nix-shell -p nodePackages.bower2nix --run "bower2nix dev/bower2nix/example/bower.json"      
{ fetchbower, buildEnv }:
buildEnv { name = "bower-env"; ignoreCollisions = true; paths = [
  (fetchbower "angular" "1.5.5" "~1.5.0" "15v5zm6bs4lx5v00vx2mnbd7m8cf1ds523g28yw9vbnjf03bnany")
  (fetchbower "bootstrap" "3.3.6" "~3.3.6" "1id5ip9jjc1gqg4bbc8q3bdxgaf695w0z6w5xddc1w3zcj493pbd")
  (fetchbower "jquery" "2.2.3" "1.9.1 - 2" "034g53l52951j5ybavrjf3ckppn5ddlp3120bf6d4xrx0rqlipim")
]; }

The source of the slowness is probably that it downloads the whole frontend package just to get the bower info. I'm open to ideas about how to make it faster.
