Let's break down the provided benchmark and explain what is being tested, compared, and their pros and cons.

**What is being tested?**

The benchmark compares the performance of two JavaScript libraries: Lodash (`_.merge`) and DeepMerge (`deepmerge`). Both libraries are used to merge two objects together.

**Options compared:**

1. **Lodash (`_.merge`)**:
	* Pros:
		+ Widely used and well-established library.
		+ Simple and easy to use.
	* Cons:
		+ May have a slower performance due to its complexity.
2. **DeepMerge (`deepmerge`)**:
	* Pros:
		+ Optimized for deep object merging, which can be beneficial in certain scenarios.
		+ May have better performance than Lodash.
	* Cons:
		+ Less widely used and less established than Lodash.

**Other considerations:**

1. **Library usage**: Both libraries use different approaches to merge objects. Lodash uses a recursive approach, while DeepMerge uses a iterative approach. This difference in approach can affect the performance and complexity of the merged object.
2. **Performance**: The benchmark measures the execution speed of both libraries for large object merges. The results will show which library performs better.

**Library explanations:**

1. **Lodash (`_.merge`)**:
	* Lodash is a popular JavaScript utility library developed by Isaac Zeldman in 2010.
	* Its primary purpose is to provide functional programming helpers and utility functions for tasks like array manipulation, object merging, and more.
2. **DeepMerge (`deepmerge`)**:
	* DeepMerge is a lightweight JavaScript library specifically designed for deep object merging.
	* It provides an efficient and optimized way to merge objects, especially useful when dealing with nested structures.

**Special JS feature or syntax:**

None mentioned in the benchmark definition.

**Alternatives:**

1. **Object.assign()**: A built-in JavaScript method used for shallow object assignment.
2. **Recursive functions**: Other libraries or custom implementations that use recursive approaches for merging objects.
3. **Other deep merging libraries**: Such as merge-deep, jsondiffpatch, and more.

Keep in mind that the benchmark's results may vary depending on specific use cases and requirements.
