Hi Nick,
My (limited) understanding of the code is that first note in the like notes is
kept and the later notes are merged into that first note. The downside of this
is that there can be a lot of scanning backwards over the previously deleted
notes to find that earlier kept note.  Is there a choice which note to merge
into which?  Would it be possible to merge the previous note into the current
note and delete the previous note?  That would eliminate the repeated long
backward scans to find the note to merge into that are currently dominating the
firefox build install.
