**Overview of the Benchmark**

MeasureThat.net is a website that allows users to create and run JavaScript microbenchmarks, comparing different approaches to achieve the same result. In this case, we have a benchmark that tests two functions from the Lodash library: `omit` and `pick`.

**Lodash Library**

The Lodash library is a popular JavaScript utility library that provides various functions for tasks such as array manipulation, object manipulation, and more. In this benchmark, we're using version 4.17.15 of the library.

**Benchmarked Functions**

The two functions being tested are:

1. `_.omit(MyObject, 'myNumber')`: This function removes the property `myNumber` from the object `MyObject`.
2. `_.pick(MyObject, 'myNumber')`: This function adds the property `myNumber` to the object `MyObject`.

**Comparison of Approaches**

The two approaches being compared are:

1. **Lodash's `omit` function**: This function uses a simple implementation that creates a new object with only the properties specified in the second argument.
2. **Plain JavaScript approach**: The benchmark prepares a variable `myCopy` and assigns it an empty object, then updates this object using the `MyObject` object.

**Pros and Cons of Each Approach**

1. **Lodash's `omit` function**:
	* Pros: Fast execution time, concise code.
	* Cons: May not be optimal for very large objects or complex properties.
2. **Plain JavaScript approach**:
	* Pros: Can handle very large objects or complex properties efficiently.
	* Cons: More verbose code.

**Special Considerations**

In this benchmark, there are no special considerations, such as using a specific JavaScript feature or syntax.

**Other Alternatives**

There may be other alternatives to Lodash's `omit` function, such as:

1. Using the `Object.create(null)` method to create an empty object.
2. Using the `Object.assign()` method to update the object.

However, these alternatives are not being tested in this benchmark.

Overall, the benchmark is testing how fast each approach can execute for a small set of properties. The results will help users determine which approach is best suited for their specific use case.
