LLMs can make mistakes. Check important info.

The benchmark results are as follows:

1. Ramda.mergeDeepRight: **250,241 executions per second** ( Firefox 111 on Mac OS X 10.15)
2. Lodash.merge: **169,163 executions per second** (Firefox 111 on Mac OS X 10.15)
3. deepmerge: **110,401 executions per second** (Firefox 111 on Mac OS X 10.15)
4. JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj1)): **62512 executions per second** (Firefox 111 on Mac OS X 10.15)
5. Lodash.merge immutable: **39471 executions per second** (Firefox 111 on Mac OS X 10.15)
6. StructuredClone: **32540 executions per second** (Firefox 111 on Mac OS X 10.15)

Note that these results are for a specific browser and operating system, and may vary depending on other factors such as hardware and software configurations.

It appears that:

* Ramda.mergeDeepRight is the fastest, followed closely by deepmerge.
* Lodash.merge is slower than the others.
* JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj1)) is relatively slow compared to the other benchmarks.
* Lodash.merge immutable is slower than its non-immutable counterpart.

These results suggest that Ramda's mergeDeepRight function may be a good choice for merging complex objects, while deepmerge might be a better option for simple merges. However, it's essential to consider other factors such as performance and compatibility when selecting a library or implementation.
