To answer your question, I'll need to analyze the provided code snippet and identify any potential optimization opportunities.

The code snippet appears to be using the `deepmerge` library in Node.js. After reviewing the documentation, it seems that the default behavior of `deepmerge` is to overwrite existing values when merging two objects.

However, based on the provided benchmark results, it's clear that there are significant performance differences between `lodash` and `deepmerge`. The `ExecutionsPerSecond` value for `lodash` is approximately 3.5x higher than that of `deepmerge`.

To improve the performance of `deepmerge`, I would recommend considering the following optimization strategies:

1. **Disable unnecessary merging**: If you're only merging a subset of properties from one object to another, consider disabling this behavior using the `mergeKeys` option.
2. **Use an incremental merge strategy**: Instead of re-merging all properties on each update, consider implementing an incremental merge strategy that only updates changed values.
3. **Enable lazy loading**: Lazy loading can help reduce memory usage and improve performance by delaying property lookups until they're actually needed.
4. **Optimize data structure layout**: Depending on the specific use case, rearranging the data structure or using a more efficient data type (e.g., `Map` instead of an object) might lead to better performance.

To further analyze the code and provide more tailored advice, I'd need more context about the specific requirements and constraints of your project. Can you please share:

* The relevant parts of the code that are responsible for merging objects?
* Any additional optimization techniques or patterns used in the project?
* Performance metrics (e.g., execution time, memory usage) before and after applying any optimizations?

With this information, I can provide more targeted guidance on how to improve the performance of `deepmerge` in your specific use case.
