      I was populating an empty (dropped) collection with semi-random data. Creating 10k records in Rust and using insert_many took 748ms. Using $densify and $out to create similar records took 565ms. Using $merge instead of $out took 91,983ms. It seems that $merge should at least be faster than insert_many.

      I recall that setting the _id field in the pipeline prior to $merge improved performance, but I can no longer reproduce this.
